one-man fight
The discussion looks a lot like SlimVirgin railing against a "consensus" that, to him, was never formally defined, and denies the constant, relatively unchallenged state the page has been (and cited as) for nearly a year constitutes a passive consensus. THis analysis is also confirmed by Misplaced Pages:Consensus: "Over time, every edit that remains on a page, in a sense, has the unanimous approval of the community (or at least everyone who has looked the page). "Silence equals consent" is the ultimate measure of consensus — somebody makes an edit and nobody objects or changes it. Most of the time consensus is reached as a natural product of the editing process."
Unfortunately, people have a tendency to think "Well... I disagree! How can this be a consensus?"
The WP:OC debacle (which culminated in jeff practically denying the very concept of consensus he was trying to "defend," and was quite similar in devellopment) left me pretty bitter, which is why I'm limiting my contributions to the discussion to a minimum.Circeus 03:59, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
