Well said, but it begs the question -- is it time for a seious look at the policy about repeals versus replacements? This is the first thread on a repeal that found legitimate flaws in the policy of separation, and they were (I admit) arguments well made. I voted for the repeal because I had the rules explained to me in no uncertain terms the last time #7 came up for repeal (and I had then supported leaving #7 in place). When enough reasonble points are raised against a rule, or at least questioning it, it seems like it's time to revisit that rule (or visit it at all).
I'm not sure I completely understand all of your point here, however, last night I started work on the NSWiki entry for this repeal.
I had forgotten that a previous repeal of Sexual Freedom also failed. Originally I was debating making a separate NSWiki entry for this new repeal, but I decided that the fact that there have been two repeal attempts is important ... so I'll be creating a single entry for all repeals, with each version listed chronologically until one passes.
What I'm driving at is that key points raised in previous debates should be archived in an easy to find place, which in the case of a resolution is under "Repeal "{resolution name}"". The best I can say is there are a few of us archiving these things, but we can always use help -- in particular short 3 sentence paragraphs summarizing the key points raised in debates of passed and failed resolutions / repeals would be most helpful. :)
