G'day Tom,
In Slim's
defense (imagine that, coming from me), what she appears to
have actually been recommending was to remove the article *and* the
merged content and rewrite any relevant text from scratch. Her full
statement was actually, "Any material we want to merge can be researched
and written from scratch if need be. This is no time to worry about the
GFDL.".
Ah, that's always the problem with making judgements based on half a
quote. Thanks for clearing that up.
Speaking of making judgments, SlimVirgin is actually female, so "he"
should definitely not be desysopped for Bryan's sneaky little quotation.
Funny thing, the editors who attract the biggest creeps tend to be
female. Why is that, I wonder?
