Umm, eckhard, so pre AF447 would everyone be agreeing that 'stop aeroplane descending = pull stick back'? My point being better to discuss things (down) here rather than up there! It's possible that not everyone on this forum has had the benefit of flying aerobatics and/or relatively big aeroplanes at extreme attitudes!
I suspect that some of the confusion you are reading is pertaining to the initial scenario, ie is it a positive or negative AoA. I think everyone is agreeing on what recovery actions apply to which scenario.
