some reasoning for any action, proposed action, or threatened action
that we discuss on an article's talk page. Would you mind doing the
same?" It was claimed that this was a "WP:POINT" violation. Just
how is asking the reasons behind a draconian statement a block-worthy
violation?
Looks a little unfair to me, too. A lot of people seem to miss the
"disrupting Wikipedia" part of "disrupting Wikipedia to make a
point".
Just making a point is NOT a policy violation. Posting to a talk page
is not disruptive.
