Can I just make the comment that this thread shows why email is much better adapted to serious discussions that Wiki software is. Most of the comments on AfD are "Delete, per nom" or "Keep <insert brief spiel here>". Whereas on email people are actually able to develop ideas like "it's a copyvio" beyond that simple troublesome phrase.
At least there's no (easy) way to top-post with fullquotes within wiki software, so that form of annoying idiocy isn' t present there.
And to think there was a proposed policy to ban offsite discussion about Wikipedia...:)
Just how were they going to try to enforce such a ban?
