Wikipedia is about objective unbiased information, not someone's opinion.

I realize, of course, that some people have deep profound difficulty distinguishing their own opinions about shit, from objective fact.

But if a few folks can't keep themselves from endlessly editing the page about gamergate to say "gamergate is evil misogyny troll MRA doody-heads because doody misogyny MRA MRA and did we mention MRAs?", it is small wonder that wikipedia has blocked them from editing.
