To an impartial observer
this whole exercise has all the earmarks of trying to dig up Nupedia from
the grave, give it the "kiss of life" and do all sorts of hocus pocus and
arm
waving and say "It is alive! It is
alive!"
... And then see it just fall on its face like the corpse it is.
Cue even more bubbling vials with smoke and sparks. "Let's try again!
This time it will work!"

Jussie-Ville - terse or blunt is fine IF it is accompanied by a reasoned
argument and preferably also a proposed alternative. I find your posts on
this thread to be both full of hyperbolic metaphor as well as being
unclear. As such I don't think they are helping your argument, however
strong you might hold your opinions on the topic.
I don't really get the "unclear" bit. How more clear could I be than say
"impartial observer". How do you ever think you are going to get an
intelligent reader to swallow that as "[...] however strong you might
hold your opinions on the topic. "
