I'm on the road every two weekends, and processing

Greig Laidlaw...
Just to read that I'm a fascist and an "anal retentive" because someone
proposed a fucking picture of KitKat for deletion ? It was not even
deleted, the discussion is still going on. And even if it was, the right
place to go would have been COM:UDR, with a strong rationale, where people
would have discuss it in a civilised manner. Not in this echo chamber...
So yes, one could say that the thread "was accusatory from the start, and
quickly went to vicious". One could also say that this is a fucking
disgrace.

To be crystal clear: I didn't link to the DR or mention the nominator
because I don't actually care much about the individual instance.
Commons is going to do what it's going to do, and whomever nominated it or
comments in support of deletion is just doing what the policies of Commons
is telling them to do.
The problem is a general one with the goals of Commons, what the community
focuses (and doesn't focus on), as I said. I think it should be clear that
the purpose of discussing it on Wikimedia-l as opposed to Commons is talk
about whether Commons is doing a good job of serving as the media
repository for other projects. Not about whether the nominator was correct
in this individual case or something like that.

Okay, guys, let's all take a step back and
remember [[WP:Civility]].
(Yeah, I know that's a Wikipedia pillar, but can't we all at least get
on board with that one?)
The tone of this thread was accusatory from the start, and quickly
went to vicious. Maybe everyone can try it again with a bit of AGF.

P.S. Stephen, you are young and handsome, in fact rather dishy to my

Fæ, this is not acceptable for the list (or for that matter on wiki).
Stephen's neckbeard comment certainly wasn't helpful either but it's no
excuse.
