Actually, does it matter? List moderation and killfiling happens what, once
a year? I see no
problem with how it occurred this time, nor any reason to change the process
for the
future. Stevertigo is more interested in the debate, in my opinion, than any
particular
outcome. But foundation-l and wikien-l aren't debating clubs; folks cite the
tenor
of discussion, especially the ego-fueled point-by-point debate, as a common
reason
for unsubscribing.

If you find that people don't take your side even after you have "utterly
destroyed them,
point by point" then perhaps you should pick a new approach.
