Do you mean blanking and protecting all VFD/AFD debates on people/buisinesses that we have on record currently, or to start this practice right away, and continuing it for only new debates? I think I agree with geni here, going back to all the former debates and blanking/protecting is going to take a very large amount of resources in terms of server load and editor time.
However, I think I generally agree with this proposal. I recently had to blank a AfD myself because of some hurtful comments about the subject.
I'm assuming that if we adopt a general blank/protect policy going forward, then people who care about the old ones could get around to doing them whenever they feel like it.
"X takes a lot of work" doesn't usually deter someone from taking up the challenge and doing it. :-)
