True, but in some cases, it's overdone to throw out the "They're voting!"
phrase. It was pretty clear from the WP:SPOIL MfD that most people were
against it. If people are challenged in their statements, sure, they should
be able to back them up with a reason. The problem will eventually happen
when some troll dislikes a given set of opinions, and then sets himself to
challenging them all, to make it look like any who don't return to defend
their points aren't valid. Not saying any 'closing' types are that stupid,
but it's the appearance of poisoning their "!vote" I suppose.
