Was this change in public tone and approach to BLP, DRV, et al discussed anywhere beyond this mailing list and on-wiki? Any other maillists, or IRC? It seems that suddenly a collection of senior people that work together are all on a unified page on something which is going to be very contententious to many individuals.
As I noted, this is what happened after the Siegenthaler fuckup. Jimbo said "we really need to fix this now" and WP:BLP was written.
If this is the New Way, would one of you be so good as to specifically modify WP:BLP with these changes, to see if the community accepts them?
WP:BLP is written this way already. What you're upset about is what already happened.
