I'm trying to simply ask for opinions as to whether or not calling something cruft is uncivil. I'm sure the majority of AfDers would agree with me, though I'm sure many editors would disagree.
I consider "-cruft" to be highly uncivil and IMO it also tends to be a good indicator that whoever's using the term doesn't have a strong argument to support his case for deletion beyond a personal lack of interest in the subject matter. I'm not an AfDer, though, and I suspect this philosophy is one of the reasons _why_ I'm not.
