→Do we really want to "invite" school-age students to this site?
I'm sure that TerryH didn't intend the "invitation" to be an encouragement for children to visit Metapedia. Rather, it was saying that people needn't just take Conservapedia's word for it, but can check the facts for themselves. Nevertheless, despite that ''good intention'', it wasn't worded the best, and I support its removal. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 23:22, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

:This kinda reminds me of one of the few [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756890/quotes Futurama episodes] I actually watched (I still want to watch them all, but time never happens to be on my side, somehow):
::Leela: [hands Fry a note] This. You for this.
::Fry: Thanks. [blows nose on note, then throws it in fireplace]
::Leela: No! [reaches into fire] Ow! Fire hot!
::Professor Hubert Farnsworth: The professy will help. [reaches into fire] Ahh! Fire indeed hot!
:(Nooooo! Not the punishment stick! It's all in good fun!)
:I guess your assumption about Terry's intention is correct, but I think in this case, it really is better not to encourage people. Those who really want to find out more will know how to use Google, so we don't have to give the rest silly ideas. Not even to mention what might happen if people use school/work computers to follow "our suggestion"...
:And a possible alternative to "Just take our word" would be to find more sources to back our claims. The article already has a few, but I guess we can dig out more and then spread them more evenly. We'll figure something out :) --[[User:DirkB|DirkB]] 23:37, 6 September 2008 (EDT)
