Can I just make the comment that this thread
shows why email is much
better adapted to serious discussions that Wiki software is. Most of
the comments on AfD are "Delete, per nom" or "Keep <insert brief spiel
here>". Whereas on email people are actually able to develop ideas
like "it's a copyvio" beyond that simple troublesome phrase.
And to think there was a proposed policy to ban offsite discussion
about Wikipedia...:)
I propose a new guideline. I call it, "On-wiki policy discussion
considered harmful".
We should combine that with the earlier discussion, though -- just
think of how much time a "Policy discussion considered harmful"
guideline would save us ;-)
