Which is why we have policies and guidelines to take care of those questions.

It seems like you're unilaterally redefining BLP.  I'm not thinking BLP
was to act as a bludgeon against information we're uncomfortable with, but
rather to protect the project against possible libel action and the
subjects of the biographies.

Your interpretation, which doesn't seem to mesh with what's been allegedly
reached by consensus, falls into the former from what I'm reading.
