That's sophistry - a Discussion page is still a page.
When you remove entries from a discussion page, you are saying that you do not care to have a discussion with the people who added the entries to the discussion page. Adding text to a discussion page is appropriate and encouraged, in that it starts the discussion.
If we don't allow discussion, then we're no better than the people we forked the wiki to get away from.
