Again, courtesy blankings and deletions are not sanctions against any one.
I've never much liked courtesy blankings either... I'm from the old- school geek mindset of "Information wants to be free".

Courtesy blankings don't really affect the freedom of information one way or the other. Anyone who wants to know can simply check the history... I believe courtesy blankings are to avoid things showing up on Google, which I think is fair - I wouldn't want a bunch of petty trivial disputes showing up under my name on Google either.
