Now I understand why people leave so quickly...

A: "This article should be deleted."
B: "But it's verifiable!"
A: "It's non-notable and unencyplodic."
C: "There are no notability policies! It's verifiable and isn't original
research!"
A: "Have read the article? We don't need an article on this! It has no
place in a general purpsose encyclopedia!"
D: "JIMBO SEZ: Wiki is not paper, so it can stay."
A: "ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
