Um, Flameviper posted a long screed denouncing [[WP:DENY]] as a
steaming pile of crap "because it insists on the existence of
trolls" when in fact it says no such thing.  As I pointed out.

So I didn't address the issue he raises because it does not exist.

Actually WP:DENY is much healthier than the long-term abuse pages
ever were.  Do we really believe that we do people a service by
immortalising their foolishness?  I suspect that many people when
they look back in ten years will be rather glad we WP:DENY rather
than building silly monuments to childish vandalism.
