The phrase ""Cease and Desist"" is actually a staple of aggressive lawyers going after people who are crossing their clients, but in the environment of Wikipedia, especially coming from an admin to a non-admin, it has the tone of a shout from a law enforcement officer to an unarmed civilian. I reverted your comment on my Talk in a little tit-for-tat snit, but then I remembered I never, ever, revert anything on non-encyc pages, so I reverted the revert. One of the many vital functions of Talk pages is the ""blowing off steam"" function and, aside from the lowest sort of profanity-laced invective, emotional wording should not be discouraged by beating people with the WP:CIVIL and WP:POINT sticks as punishment for being human...The moral of the story is: if ""the people"" (in this case, general editors) are upset over a policy, don't be browbeating them when they speak out against it in non-encyc pages. A guy can't give a heartfelt opinion around here anymore without getting slapped with 8 or 9 ""policy violations"" right off the bat. ps - I appreciate your restoring my edit. It really isn't hurting anyone.   "
