Because the topic was brought up and put up for a vote. If you're wondering why we were so democratic about it. Well, the communication functions are such a basic part of the wiki and one of the biggest parts of the user experience, that simply waving off the proposition wouldn't be fair.

I didn't want the walls either, but all votes are equal. If things go left, we can always go back to talk pages if there's enough desire for it.

I didn't think you'd be so pissed about it though lol. This wasn't a knee jerk decision, we talked about it, and I was sure Per told you about the vote to get your yay or nay on it.
