We should nuke [[WP:CITE]] and [[WP:RS]]. They are not working. They have never worked. It is not a feasible project to go and add sources to everything, and new contributors who are editing casually are never going to be willing to do the extra work of having sources. The result is a rule where we are always going to be playing catch-up.

The problem with this kind of argument as the very first one in a series of comments is that it makes me feel blackmailed by whatever follows.
The problem with this line of argument is that it doesn't develop the debate in a fruitful manner. My suggestion would be to either ignore the comment or to consider it in the context of the posted subject header. However, I am terribly sorry for the offence it caused, and for reacting emotively to Phil's suggestion and conveying the level of my reaction. Maybe I'll move to a list where people don't make me feel like a retard simply for posting my opinion.
