Seems to me that he is discussing it just fine. Just not in three hundred places at once.
Deleting talk page comments that criticise him is "discussing it just fine"?
See second sentence. Discussing it does not require rising to the bait when trolled (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJeffrey_O._Gustafson&a...)
- one debate is probably sufficient, and an admin's talk page is not
the right place for the debate when it has already been raised on the admin noticeboards by that admin.
In which case, the correct response is to point the user who posted on the admin's talk page to the place where the discussion is taking place.
That wasn't the example I was thinking of, though.
