Yes. The opposed groups are not "inclusionists" versus deletionists, but *contributors* versus deletionists. (This is still the case even though the deletionists contribute elsewhere.) Then the deletionists wonder why the contributors get so damn stroppy.
LOL, that's kind of silly. I guess those are the same contributers that made "Greasy Cannonball", LOL. Seriously though, many of us go to VfD to kill original research and other nonsense and vanity. It would be nice if we had people like you participating there rather than just complaining about the system, as it were :).
Believe it or not, it does work quite well considering the alternatives. Sometimes it takes multiple VfDs, sometimes it ends up on VfU etc.. But eventually it does work - thanks to the work of the people who populate VfD (the people you seem to live to hate, LOL :)).
Hate a little WP:FAITH in the system, it does work quite well. Maybe you should talk about it on the talk page of WP:AfD - its a rather low-traffic talk page comparatively.
Thanks, Ryan
