[edit] Are your saying....?
I'm all for editing articles into concise information, but do you really believe ALL of the info you excised should not be included? Moriori 07:28, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, half the article was devoted to this guy's "invented" theory of the "inverted ad-hominem". It was interspersed throughout. Cleaning it up isn't easy, and there's one or two sentences that maybe can be added back in - like, perhaps the reference to Aristotle. But, given the source (I know - ad hominem), I'd like to see a link for that as well. It's public domain stuff, so I'll probably find it available at Project Guttenberg. But read the two; see the talk page - and tell me if you think the previous version made more sense. It appeared to me to be one user having corrupted what had been a mostly sound article, with alot of people disagreeing with it but too timid to go ahead and make the changes.

- OK. However, you say there is content that maybe can be added back. Would be a good idea, to balance the article. Moriori 20:28, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
