general consesnsus for deletion should be more easily achieved. This
means that there will be a reduced desire for undeletion. Some articles
will still fall through the cracks for various reasons, and we should be
more willing to accept these as ordinarty mistakes that anybody can make.

What has this got to do with deletionists? Anyone would be happy with
a less tense atmosphere in a wiki. I don't see what that has to do
with deletionism or inclusionism? You sound like deletionists want
everything on AFD deleted all the time and it is exactly this kind of
thing that's causing a poisonous atmosphere.
Perhaps there's a few indivuduals, but you can't generalize for ALL
deletionists.
