No. Even if you put in some automated script, it
couldn't be done because they never work 100%. Even if
we allow no external links, people will write
something like "see my page at (three w's).mypage.com"
and so could get around it. That is why we need a
moderation system of sorts.

If it was what their article was about, fine. If they
demanded those rights over the article, they can go
elsewhere.

Then we allow it. Their ideas are our propoganda. To a
Nazi, if I posted an article about how good the
liberation of Black Americans was, they would see it
as propoganda. We can't discriminate against minority
views, no matter how extreme or distasteful. We're not
another Wal-Mart or Blockbusters.
