User talk:Gnusmas/Humpty Dumpty

Mission doubt

In reply to the tag that has been added to the page - I created Humpty Dumpty because it stikes me that Humpty Dumpty as featured in Through the Looking Glass is a good emblem of the sort of twisting of the truth that antiscientists and conservapedians engage in. As in "I choose to call it evolutionism so that's what it is", or "when I use liberal to mean whatever I happen to dislike most, that's what it means". Extreme relativism masquerading as The One And Only Truth. In other words, I see Humpty Dumpty as a precursor of the anti-science movement and crank ideas, and perhaps most of all of authoritarianism and fundamentalism - precisely what RW is about. I think the page could be developed, and could become well worthy of a place in RW. GNUSMAS : TALK 15:35, 3 March 2008 (EST)

How about you move it to your userspace for now? The article just seems out of place the way it is right now. -- Radioactive afikomen ^{Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.} 15:40, 3 March 2008 (EST)

If the article included much of what you said above, I think it might barely survive. As it is, I was comeing here to say it barely passes muster to be moved to "fun". However, as RA says, if you put it in a subpage of your user space, it will at least survive and maybe you can make it better. And of course you can obviously link to it from your user page. Another idea: expand it a bit with the stuff you said above and move it to "essay"? human 22:23, 17 March 2008 (EDT)
