Since when? Perhaps you're thinking of Wikinfo's "sympathetic point of view" policy, which is incompatible with NPOV and IIRC the reason why Wikinfo split.
Since Jimbo started wading in and upping the stakes on WP:LIVING. And there is absolutely nothing wring with that. We recently deleted Gregory Lauder-Frost precisely because of that.
The bad faith was directed at Danny, in my view. There is a world of difference between "hey, Danny, what's the story here?" and "ZOMG! You deleted fleshlight! The encyclopaedia is suddenly of no value to humanity" or words to that effect.
No, this is simply wrong. I was responding to you accusing Jeff Raymond of bad faith when he called your argument "a load of hooey." Danny's actions weren't the subject here.
Jeff was making judgments which I consider were personally antipathetic to Danny. I feel no compunction in calling him on it. I have a long history of civil disagreements with Jeff, and I would like to point out that it was me who nominated him for adminship (a nomination which failed for largely bogus reasons in my view).
