Yes, because Lord knows those evil deletionists must be PUNISHED! Drilled into the ground, pounded into dust, made never to return.
Your inflammatory statements are only serving to fan the partisan flames here. We could be having a rational discussion about ways to improve the deletion system so stuff that should be kept gets kept and stuff that should be deleted gets deleted, but instead you're just pulling out the "deletionists are evil, let's form a committee to ban them" card. That's definitely not a logical or dispassionate response.

Since the statement you attribute to me has absolutely no resemblance to anything I actually wrote, it's clear that you are only seeking to fan the partisan flames here. We could be having a rational discussion about ways to protect Wikipedia from the on-going damage it is suffering, but instead you're just pulling out the "falsely attribute an absurd position to him, then ridicule that position he never took" straw man.
