I don't want to put a stick into anyone's spokes, but I think incremental improvements of this article is a mistake while it is structured to be "For/Against" the "No Massacre Thesis". That structure is a road-block that will stop us ever getting a sensible article. Re-structure first, then do the lead, then tighten up on the rest of it. However, I'm very happy with the work done by G-Dett and Eleland and commend their new lead (which, incidentally, would be something like what we decided we needed some weeks ago, in one of the sections started by Jaakobou).
PS - I've re-indented this section into the "threaded" form I believe it should have. This is not an exercise in disruption (I've even left the comment contribution in it's original confused state), it's because I'm pretty sure it makes it much more sensible and easier to read.
