I quite agree, although my vested interest in stubs is less now days, since I have both had little time and have generally worked on substantial articles.

It would seem on obvious candidate for editing and addition of more substantial material rather than deletion.
To the individuals involved, I would say that if you spent more time writing articles you would have less time for vandalism.

You're talking to, and about, people who have made many substantial contributions to the Wikipedia--disagreements on policy do not constitute vandalism, any more than cluttering the Wikipedia with one-sentence stubs does.
I think he meant "less time for dealing with vandalism". I don't think he was asserting _they_ were vandals. At least I chose to interpret it that way.
