Somehow I knew you'd be the one who couldn't resist responding to this. I dunno, Japheth, you seem to get more stubborn every day.

Wikipedia has revert rules, talk pages, etc. just because this kind of thing happens a lot. I know this isn't the same kind of wiki, but the idea still applies. Not everyone agrees on what has to be done. If you have specific issues, discuss them either here on in e-mail, and they will hopefully be resolved. You can't expect people to agree just because you silently removed stuff several times. In fact, you may have to make compromises. Unlike a wiki, you can't change other people, only work around it.
