For context, your statement as quoted was: "The point of WP:BLP is (or should be) that our fundamental content rules NPOV, NOR, V are all that's needed - but we need to apply them very harshly and we really can't be eventualist about bad info in living bios."
What about the advances we've made over the past two years in agreeing that the well-being of article subjects is also a legitimate consideration. In Wikipedia jargon, I could simply say that "you left Notability off your list." But it's a deeper sense of respect for our obligations, as reflected in such places as [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Badlydrawnjeff]] and [[/Footnoted quotes]]. See also [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Doc glasgow#Outside view by Newyorkbrad]]; [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/QZ Deletion dispute#Outside view by Newyorkbrad]]; the DRV log for May 28, 2007 (Hornbeck/Ownby); and the Shawn Hornbeck thread currently on ANI.
There is plenty of accurate, neutral, fully sourceable material about living persons that still has no place in Wikipedia. Or anywhere else on the Internet, really, but we can only control our own site.

agree with it at all.
