Wikipedia talk:Don't bludgeon the process

What is not bludgeoning

I thought this was an essay, but it's being treated like a PAG, so hatting this for now.

The following was removed. I'd like to hear what others think of the described situation: "If an editor has made an accusation against another editor, the accused editor has a right to demand evidence backing that accusation, and the accuser is obligated to provide it. The burden of proof is on the accuser. If the accuser won't comply, they should withdraw their accusation and apologize. Responding to that justified demand by falsely accusing the accused of bludgeoning is very uncivil." It was removed because the language was deemed...too strident? Well, then revise it. The issue is very real. I took my cue from this in the lead: "To falsely accuse someone of bludgeoning is considered uncivil, and should be avoided." Wordings in the lead should be backed up with content in the body, so I provided it.

• Just chiming in to say that whilst some people find this useful, it is not a PAG, not least because if it was a PAG it would have to be written in a completely different way. FOARP (talk) 11:17, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
