*'''I disagree.''' Respectfully. Even though actions are being taken without consult with the other Sysops or users, in a most disrespectful way. --~ [[User:TK|TK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 22:16, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

**Nothing has developed at [[Leftist]] or [[Rightist]] other than the typical namecalling without any real efforts to give a valid definition. Then we have the argument that this abuse has occured for decades in other print publications, so why shouldn't we just continue it. The ''New York Times'', for example reported as late as 1912 that a highly sophisticated civilization existed on Mars; and the ''New York Times'' certainly is as credible as source as Merriam Websters. Again we are faced with the same dilemma: this is only a theory and should be properly identified as a theory. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 23:05, 9 April 2007 (EDT)

***It's not a [[theory]], it's a [[definition]]. There's nothing to test about it, it's just a (very imperfect) way of classifying (some, not all) political viewpoints. 'Red' state is not a perfect description of politics in Texas, just like 'red' couch is not a perfect description of the color of the furniture in your livingroom. Would you say that describing some couches as red, and other couches as blue, is 'just a theory, and should be properly identified as a theory'? --[[User:Redblue|Redblue]] 04:17, 10 April 2007 (EDT)
