You can't reason people out of being upset and

But not on an RfC. RfCs are for fixing problems with editor

fix?
One could generalize the problems to include "...and community reaction".
I don't really personally care what form it takes (as I said, I'd
personally like it to go away, too, it's unseemly), but realistically
it's representing upset feelings and as such there should be someplace
for it to happen.
What's ended up happening is, perhaps both typically and tragically,
Wikipedia standard controversy reaction - it's up, it's down, it's
back up, it's moved, it's moved again, it's speedy deleted then
restored then deleted and up for DR and sideways with sugar on top and
can I please have a little more, sir?
I begin to wonder just how badly we are our own worst enemies...
