In my opinion calling content contributed in good
faith by our
valued
contributors "cruft" is incivil. It sends the clear message that
their contributions, and by extension themselves, are valueless.
Reductio ad absurdum time:
"In my opinion, nominating content contributed by our valued
contributors is incivil. It sends the clear message that their
contributions, and by extension themselves, are valueless."
Nothing absurd about it, deleting someone's contributions DOES send
the signal that that particular contribution is considered
valueless by the deleting authority (speedying admin or
supermajority of AfD folks).
