396:. After I recently saw an AfD where six people voted for speedy delete on grounds that the second line of the nomination explained to be inapplicable, a thoughtful and articulate approach was more than slightly refreshing. It was particularily to your credit (sadly enough) that you considered the applicability of the rules and the end results of their use. One of our larger problems with fiction is probably an overreliance on rules, a tendency to build rigid, all-encompassing rulesets instead of flexible ones -- when the latter is what they have originally been and indeed have to be in an environment this large and chaotic. Trying to legislate away the need for thought beyond the core principles would be madness. (Of course I have a defiant streak a mile wide, but that doesn't necessarily make me wrong.) --
