I am just so sick of being told that every single thing I do is wrong. And now Jimbo, the so-called "benevolent dictator", is attacking me for what I thought was right. Well, I must be wrong, then, so why should I continue doing what is obviously wrong?
Rick, how am I attacking you? I fully support your work. I don't really know what you're talking about.
Let me repeat -- my complaints about VfD are not complaints about all deletions, nor are they complaints about most of what goes on there.
Allow me to give a very inexact analogy. Imagine a court system in which 99% of the time defendants are given a fair trial, but in 1% of the cases they are not, perhaps due to some loophole in the process.
A person can say that the process is broken, because in a small but important number of cases the wrong thing is done, without thereby criticizing in any way the other 99%.
You're solidly in the 99%.
I have no complaints about people working to clean up vandalism and my concerns should not be taken as a slight against anyone doing that.
