Setting up a few straw men to knock down and a big smokescreen of obfustication is not much good either.
Instead of complaining to maveric about setting up straw men, you might look at yourself and wonder whether it might be reasonable for people to think you insulted them if you call them a vandal.

Mav seems to give as good as he gets. I suppose we should all avoid inflamatory language, but you know, "He started it..." Actually I don't think anything I've ever written has been deleted. It has all, however short, been either a base for a decent article or had links to further information on the topic. I would simply like derogatory comments and labeling to stop regarding legitimate "short", not "stub", articles. Maybe I'm just asking for NPOV.
