I generally agree with this sentiment, and have been particularly annoyed when a VfD was posted about a particular module, such as recipes from the Cookbook or the "What is gravity" module of Wikijunior Solar System. I have never seen these modules properly resolved in the VfD forum, and instead is mainly is a place to roll the fight out and aire dirty laundry. More akin to a barroom brawl that runs onto the street and into neighboring businesses. It is never pretty, and the feelings are usually so charged and divided by the time it gets to the VfD page that the issue doesn't really get resolved. A plea for a neutral moderator to come into the discussion might be in order from time to time, but in that case a direct plea to an admin would be more reasonable, or a quick note on the Staff Lounge.
