[edit] Self-reflection
I removed this recently added pargraph:
- On the weekend of January 20, 2006, Emerson and her husband Ronald Gladney took a two-day trip to Santa Barbara, California for the purpose of "spiritual self-reflection." Expenses ($1,108.70) for the trip were paid by the Fetzer Institute, based in Michigan. In a travel disclosure form, Emerson wrote that the purpose of the trip was "A time for spiritual self-reflection and an open and honest dialogue."
This text provided no information regarding what the point of the pargraph is. Has some sort improper activity been alleged? Is it trying to say that she is a spirtual person? Should we be concerned about involvement with the Feltzer institute (whoever that is)? Overall -- what is the relevance of this paragraph? Could whoever added this or someone that has information regarding this, please determine what the relevance of this to the article is. If it is relevant please modify the text to make that apparent and restore it to the article. kenj0418 22:03, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Obscene Letter
this is mildly amusing, but probably not significant enough to include. just leaving it for reference in case anything ever becomes of it campaignwise. Derex 06:39, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted the most recent deletion of information by an anonymous user concerning the letter containing an obscenity sent out by Emerson's office. Contrary to the anonymous user's opinion, I do not believe such information is "worthless", considering how unusual such an occurrence is. --TommyBoy 23:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
The information was deleted again this morning. I have re-added it for the time being because it is properly sourced and the incident seems to be reasonably notable (having been reported by The Guardian). I am not saying that it definitely should be in the article but can this please be properly discussed and a consensus reached (ideally with reason based upon established policy/guidelines) before it is removed again. If it is removed again, a clear justification in the edit summary would help. Thanks TigerShark 18:47, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
