Fred, are you willfully ignoring the questions, or are we missing
something here?  If Administrator A deletes the entire article saying
"this was grossly inappropriate," and it wasn't, but no one can see it,
you seem to have suggested that it's Too Damn Bad - that DRV might not be
the right forum, and that "dispute resoltion" is the next step.

Uh, you realize what that creates, right?  I'm going to hopefully assume
your wording was unclear in your statement that suggested that we should
automatically trust that administrators aren't going to cite BLP to delete
articles when there's no BLP violation.
