My reading of "no rule may contradict" is that contradiction is unacceptable in which case you are indeed "completely determined by it". > Apparently accordingly to you and others > in this thread, not just a rule to > not include Mohammed depiction but > any rule in Wikipedia whatsoever that is based on morality would go But this I agree with. Whether something is forbidden or not is a product of time and place. In the UK (where I live) it was once acceptable to burn people alive. In modern Britain that would get you into trouble. If I were to travel back in time I'm not sure I could argue that my position on witches was "neutral" and therefore they should put down that flaming torch.
