    See w:Wikipedia:political dispute for some detailed analysis of this. It can serve as a "straw man" for debate about a similar policy at Consumerium. However, probably every dispute at Consumerium is ultimately political or an identity dispute that is even more sensitive. In general we must rely on other essential projects to tell us what is real and what is going on.

    When political disputes arise in the content wiki there is probably a way to resolve them for purposes of the Consumerium buying signal. However, this will not usually resolve settling the issue for more than a fixed period of time, after which it should be revisited. No decision made on any political dispute should probably stand for more than a year, without being so revisited.

    The 'once and for all' decision structure propagated by GodKings such as and Wikipedia are both anti-political and anti-democratic in nature. There is no excuse for such a structure at Consumerium, it would invite a democratize or destroy decision almost by definition, if someone were to usurp that power (to resolve a political dispute unilaterally). Trolls, certainly, would become totally hostile, and would begin to work to destroy Consumerium, if that path (as advocated at Wikipedia by such as User:Angela) is followed.
