In my opinion calling content contributed in good faith by our valued contributors "cruft" is incivil. It sends the clear message that their contributions, and by extension themselves, are valueless. Why can't you just say "Not suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia due to limited scope of interest"?

What if what Joe took "cruft" to mean what you just said? After all, isn't that what it *does* mean? Why the stigmatism?
