User talk:The Rambling Man/RFC

1. Race to the bottom
   1. Over-rigid application of guidelines as policy
   2. English variations disregarded
   3. Overly detailed
2. Inconsistent reviewing
   1. Across FACs
   2. Within a single FAC
3. Curious "non-jargon" claims (e.g. the "genus" and "entrepot" arguments)
4. Inconsistent closure
   1. Asking supporters to re-support (vs)
   2. Asking opposers to re-oppose
   3. Unique interpretation of what is "consensus" (9 supports and 2 opposes in any other part of Wikipedia does not equate to "no consensus" to support)
   4. Supervoting
5. Using multiple venues to criticise
   1. Reviewing style (to "impress" apparently)
   2. Points-winning
   3. Diverting discussions to supposed "golden era"
   4. Reviewers from driving away reviewers
   5. Nominations from driving away reviewers (look closer to home)
6. Resulting in
   1. Illness (as Tony1 put it, it's making "me mentally ill".
   2. Even fewer nominations
   3. Even fewer reviewers
7. Conclusion: little wonder FAC is dying a death under the current approach
   1. fewer nominations
   2. fewer reviewers
   3. lack of respect for process
8. It's "OUR WAY" or "NO WAY AT ALL" attitude clearly evident in just about every discussion thread
   1. "Have fun reinforcing each other's self-perceived righteousness."
