As far as I remember, this discussion was not about self-citation, but 
about some journals requiring from potential authors to refer to papers 
published in the same journal. In this situation, one could suspect that 
the journals' goal were to increase their impact indexes. The discussion 
resulted in a special issue of CAS on the topic of citation. Thus, I, 
for one, do not agree that it was waste of time (though my opinion here 
is biased as I was one of the authors in this special issue :-))
