== Inappropriate examples? ==
I hate to make a fuss on my first day here, but I am concerned that Lord Byron may not be the most appropriate example to use here. He is at least as well-known for his shameful, disgusting, and anti-family exploits as for any literary accomplishments he may possess. It is well-documented that he had many extra-marital affairs and at least one illegitimate child, and there is some evidence that some of these were homosexual in nature. He was also a drug abuser.
I do not want to censor Conservapedia, but shouldn't we choose the best possible examples whenever possible? I believe we have a resonsiblity to the chidlren on the internet to provide wholesome role models whenever we can. Literature is a huge field. Can't we find a more morally upright exemplar than Byron? —[[User:AshleyS|Asphalt P. Stanky]] 15:34, 11 November 2008 (EST)
