Deletions only make room for more questioners.

Yes, but they leave all of the readers with fewer questions, and questions that matter more because they are real, and thus a greater peace falls across the land.

Ah, yes.  The opiate of deletion.  It's kind of like a frontal lobotomy for the greater good.  Excellent.

The number of questioners matters not, what matters is output, not input. And trolls, when they find they cannot output, will output elsewhere - leaving the Sisyphean task to those managing other hills.

And this.  At first I thought it was simply sophistry.  But then its depth got to me, and I pride myself that I might be alone in understanding its wisdom.  Some might think it means something like "the ends justify the means."  But then came the poetry of "when they find they cannot output, will output elsewhere." Beautiful.  To be able to do something when you can not.  Simply beautiful.

I take it back.  You are correct: you can say anything on DPR.  You've just proved it.
