I have a same feeling as some of our discussions haven't been very fruitful. Maybe we should start a discussion about deletionism and inclusionism in our site to see if we can agree on some broader principles.

I reviewed the Suits discussion once again in the light of the new information given in this thread. I still feel that the debate had slightly disrespectful tone, especially on some comments by Monolith and Annabell. I don't see anything too bad but it's possible that I have more liberal opinion about civil debate than others. I have proposed a new policy for us but we could also make a list about things to avoid in discussions.

But I also found something that I didn't know before. Moon Girl's Suit was brought up in the discussion and from its history we can see that Monolith delete tagged it two times. Second deletion proposal was done after the opposing opinions had been raised up on the forum thread. Therefore, it was clearly an unilateral action and not acceptable. I was under the impression that delete tagging stopped when the discussion restarted and didn't checked the facts enough. I'm little baffled why this wasn't brought up when I defended delete tags for not being used during active discussion. I also wonder why Monolith used delete tag instead of merge while implying merging in the discussion. I'm sorry that I made things worse with my wrong assessment of the happenings. I now understand Annabell's accusations better. However, I still haven't found any evidence for the accusations about ill will behind Monolith's comments about costume galleries. I think that TMAO's and Annabell's accusations considering those comments are lacking good faith on fellow user and also not acceptable especially for admins. Seeing hidden meanings don't help in creating friendly discussion atmosphere.

I haven't much to say about double standard user blocking. I've always thought that different admins perform blocks with different standards and reasons. Blocking policy and more discussion about blocking principles would be helpful.
