Perhaps I should withdraw the AfD over the fact I made a bad nomination.

I nominated something for deletion under the grounds of listcruft.
Basically, I campaign for civility around the Wikipedia and by calling something -cruft I'm apparently uncivil.
Personally I have come to strongly dislike the use of the word 'cruft' on Wikipedia, particularly in AFD debates, because for most of the people that use it it seems to mean essentially 'I'm not interested in this topic, therefore it shouldn't be in the encyclopaedia' (or, the more extreme cases, 'I don't know anything about this topic, therefore I've jumped to the conclusion that it's non-notable').
Either way it's unhelpful.
Best wishes,
