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.
As said, I did not realise the term could be seen as uncivil, perhaps you could assume good faith in not only the new member but in me?
Firstly, you found an organisation called "Community Justice", which you are the chairman of, and claim to be "promoting civility". Then, you go and nominate an article for deletion (http://tinyurl.com/numt2) with the declaration that the article is "listcruft". Then, you dismiss the creator's objection with the terse statement "Only 91 edits. This is first to this namespace" (http://tinyurl.com/rega7).
I called you a hypocrite because you founded an organisation to promote civility, and then you use that to defend your behaviour. It's pretty hard to assume good faith on your part.
