Wikipedia has permanently banned one of its co-founders, Larry Sanger, from editing pages on the site after he launched a project last month for 'intellectual diversity' aimed at increasing the neutrality of the online encyclopedia and recruiting editors with conservative and pro-Israel positions. Site editors accused Sanger of biasing discussions, and the move to remove him was led by an editor who was previously involved in freezing the introduction of the Zionism entry in a way that equated the movement with 'ethnic cleansing.' Sanger criticized the decision and said he is 'shocked, there is no due process here and people are being banned by a faceless mob.'
