As I've said a few times, I was *solely*
responding to the claim that BLP
can be nutshelled as "do no harm". That was my *sole*, *lone* and *only*
counter-argument I was making.
Indeed. I'd nutshell it as "immediatist application of NPOV,
verifiability and NOR." Our basic content policies, applied
uncompromisingly.
An important consideration regarding BLPs is that we don't have the
luxury of eventualism with them.
I'd go for "don't do reasonably avoidable harm" as a nutshell of the
reason for this.
