Note, by the way, that this field has NOT yet been through the AFD
grinder that schools and webcomics have been through - rather, they're
another group who have seen the rubbish going on there and decided
"bugger that."

Who will be next? Who will be next that we don't hear about until well
after the event?

Tell me that's not AFD culture being directly damaging to Wikipedia,
now and for the future.

The AC has resoundingly failed to deal with the issue. (And I
apologise myself for being marked away at the time.) It needs dealing
with. Who can or will do something about it that will stick?
