A single, simple statement on Slim's user or talk page, saying that the rumor is false, would be much better than all this rampant reverting by ElinorD, Jayjg, and Crum375.
Steve, could you point out exactly what I have been "rampantly reverting" in this regard?
Between 03:22 and 22:12 on July 27, at least 8 questions about That Slashdot Thread were posted by various users on Slim's talk page, and systematically removed by you, ElinorD, and Crum375.
Wait a minute, so 3 different editors removed a total of 8 questions. Out of curiosity, exactly how many did I remove during that "rampant reverting"? No need to reply, the answer is one.
One of the things that has marred these kinds of discussions is rampant hyperbole. Another is that far too much of it is directed at slamming other editors, rather than discussing issues. I don't see any particular reason this discussion would add any value to the wikien-l thread, but if people feel that they must discuss it, let's try to do it in a way that generates light, not heat.
