Either that or a separate mailing list for these activities. I don't know why experienced editors let themselves get dragged into irrelevant and pointless debates and name-calling on silly issues. This is a mailing list about Wikipedia, not about conspiracy theories or their refutations. These long threads are really lowering the signal-noise ratio. Trolls will be trolls, but those of us who are NOT trolls don't need to compete at the same level. Let's put an end to this unhygienic practice.
Agreed. wikien-OT would be handy. Then, instead of saying "stop this conversation" (which can sound like favoring one side over the other, depending on who's "winning") you can just say "take it to wikien-OT".
(OT = off topic).
