Well, you are definitely entitled to your opinion. Are you looking to discredit the source of the information?
Just in case you think this may be an issue of hyperbole, another person in academia – with a much higher profile – was forced to resign around the same time for a similar incident. 07:46, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Well if they're rude to people they can hardly expect those people to respond with affection. Both Bornat and Summers should be old enough to know how the world works. Too bad if they haven't worked out how to get along with other people by now.
Anyway getting back to my question, who says the theory is controversial ? Wikipedia isn't supposed to. That's why we need to quote a source if we want to include that point of view. If we don't have one, and thus can't attribute it to anybody we shouldn't include it. That's basic NPOV as Larry Sanger originally phrased it. If someone says the theory is controversial, I'll happily quote them. But if nobody other than your esteemed self is of that opinion, you will need to take it elsewhere. -- Derek Ross | Talk03:17, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Whatever. You said that the theory "looks good" to you. Either you are downright oblivious to the odiousness of such displays of ostentation, or are simply intellectually dishonest.
In any case, the source is included. If you can legally discredit the source, feel free to spin the content in question. If not, take your tripe elsewhere --User talk:Folajimi15:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
