G'day Sean,
Note that the disruption is of /Wikipedia/. It
is impossible to
disrupt /AfD/ with deletionism, no matter how lunatic -- that entire
subsystem is maliciously designed to support and encourage lunatic
deletionism.
I know the hyperbole on this list comes thick and fast most of the time,
but when readers start to seriously wish they could tag as {{nonsense}}
entire paragraphs of one's emails, it's time to think a little before
spewing crap.
When a system is so destructively broken that numerous members of the
community realize that it is impossible to repair and begin calling for
its complete abolition (and use apt phrases such as "dynamite enema"),
it is time for that system's defenders to question their fanaticism.
The hyperbole regarding AFD's "brokenness", including terms like
"fanaticism" applied to its supporters, is not a strong argument that it is
actually broken.
Jay.
