I don't know how I can ever reason with someone who thinks this insanity is anywhere near acceptable.

Yes, Live Chat is junk. No one uses that. When I have something to say, I go to the Talk page.

Yes, Trending Articles is junk. Major waste of horizontal space, which some content absolutely needs. I can't stress this enough: that column plus the margins take almost half of the screen's width. Besides, it's a distraction from what I want to read, the content of the page I'm on.

Yes, Fan Feed is junk. Three screens worth of visually chaotic crap that I didn't want to see in the first place! Again, why do you want me to move away from the information that I actually want? I went to that page because what I want is in that goddamn page, leave me alone!

Yes, Recent Activity is junk. It's only very mildy useful for admins, and completely pointless for the vast majority of readers. And again, not worth sacrificing the horizontal space.
