Distortionists are editors who are said to intentionally introduce a non-neutral point of view in Wikipedia, in particular in an area that is a contentious topic, possibly due to nationalistic editing. Because Wikipedia editors are expected to assume good faith, labeling another editor as a distortionist is a personal attack and should be subject to sanctions. Different editors have different points of view and so may have different concepts of what is a neutral point of view, and unintentional introduction of bias is more common than intentional introduction of bias.
If one editor alleges that another editor is a distortionist, then it is likely that a sanction is in order against at least one of the editors. Actual intentional distortion is a serious violation of the second pillar of Wikipedia, and the user who is engaged in intentional distortion should, at a minimum, be topic-banned. On the other hand, the allegation that an editor is a distortionist when there is a good-faith disagreement is a personal attack and may itself require a block.
