Oct 19, 2018 at 2:33 comment added user44143 @KevinBuzzard, the rules and guidelines are clear enough....but the norms are unclear, and which rules and guidelines the community wants to uphold is unclear. I find that this unclarity is also unfriendly and unwise. But many active users prefer not to codify new guidelines, and prefer to disregard things already codified.

Sep 25, 2018 at 11:51 comment added LSpice I'm sure that Kevin Buzzard is proud to own his question, but it seems like a bad precedent to have people think that MeMO posts can or should name individual posters. Especially since it's currently a hot meta post, how about removing Kevin's name from the title (not necessarily from the post itself)?

completed to remove ambiguity "it was OK" does not refer to Poloni's removal.
Sep 23, 2018 at 2:23 comment added David Roberts Mod For people who want to see it, here's Kevin's blog post: xenaproject.wordpress.com/2018/09/22/… (EDIT: which I see now he gave in a comment to Frederico's answer)
Sep 22, 2018 at 18:39 comment added Dima Pasechnik I feel that the removal of the section is too drastic, but changes to it are in order, see my answer...

Sep 22, 2018 at 16:05 comment added Federico Poloni Could one of the users who disagree with me please write something more detailed than "I thought it was OK"?
Sep 22, 2018 at 13:26 comment added Todd Trimble Mod Federico thought that a lot of the discussion looked like advertising for Lean. That's not how it struck me, but I see now that Federico has posted an answer.

Sep 22, 2018 at 12:47 comment added Kevin Buzzard I'm happy either way. I used to be very active here and I had an intuitive feeling for what I thought a good / bad question looked like. I no longer have that feeling and the community has changed as well. As anyone who looks through the edit history will see, after all the background stuff was deleted I wrote a blog post saying roughly the same thing, and added a link from the MO post to the blog post. Now the original post is back and we have a data point of someone saying they found it valuable. Ultimately I would like to abide by the rules and guidelines, but I no longer know them.
