Y'know, if you were actually interested in improving the quality of discourse here, you (or for that matter Will) could explain what you find wrong in what I wrote rather than making meta-comments about voting and imaginary "retaliation".
(For what it's worth, I haven't downvoted either Will's comment or yours. Though I'm thinking maybe I ought to downvote yours for consistency with my general policy of downvoting complaining-about-voting comments.)
Doesn't that provide the structure to both justify and motivate going meta? It may not be precisely equivalent, but it seems pretty close. Intuitively, we expect going meta to produce more broadly applicable rulesets, rather than just a prior cause; but I have a feeling that's simply a learned expectation because it usually does so; sufficient reasons ought to behave similarly.
I agree that PSR can justify one variety of "going meta". I don't agree that a practice of frequently "going meta" requires, or implies, any sort of PSR. I am prepared to be convinced, but so far it doesn't seem that anyone who disagrees with me thinks it worth the effort of convincing me.
