Well of course not because they will just cite

If anyone can justify, using "common sense" and "the good of the
project", ignoring AGF, they deserve a prize.
You don't phrase it like that. You talk about obvious cases and how we
need the abilty to react faster (dig up the excuses for the various
anti terriousm laws that have been brought in lately and apply). You
talk about how it is nessacery to protect the project from those who
wish to hurt it (at this point you may wish to insinate that those
opposeing you support willy on wheels or lack determination in keeping
wikipedia copyvio free)
Further you can add that those who oppose you have lost sight of the
true goals of the project (useful since it is a pain to dissprove and
pretty much forces your oponents onto the defensive)
It is really very simple.
This is always a sensible way of doing things. :-)
90% of the time it causes pointless time wasteing. The trick is
knowing where that 10% is.
