That was honestly what was so confusing to me, was the freezing threads to stop arguments when I didn't see arguments happening, just discussion. Of course we could have continued to post top-level threads, but it didn't seem welcome at the time and it's not conducive to discussion because no one can reply to specific comments or receive notifications.
I felt like we couldn't/shouldn't talk here because of that, but didn't see anything in the rules that explained why...and by the time discussion started here again, the exhaustive discussion in karn's LJ was already at nearly 200 comments.
I get your point about community-as-official-statement vs. community-as-discussion-space. That's a hard line. And I appreciate you taking time to discuss it with me.
