Wolf-Michael Bolle says: "Public shaming of authors you don't like will not explain your point of view but tells me much about your character. Interlingua is a project that many linguists and enthusiasts have worked on with each generation building on the experience of the previous generation. Presenting new intelligent points of view is the highest honor you can give to a scientist - living or dead. Stanley A. Mulaik wouldn't be working on improving Interlingua if he didn't think this conlang wasn't worth it. So, please treat him with a bit more respect. Write your own book about why you think Stanley A. Mulaik is wrong and write it as intelligently as he did it, and stop this nonsense page here. I am observing more and more people deriving their own words using the rule of the three. The language is already in a state of flux. Stanley A. Mulaik is harmless compared to these new grassroots activities." — This unsigned comment was added by Wmbolle (talkcontribs) at 22:29, 30 January 2021 (UTC).Reply

There's nothing here that says he's wrong, only that the terms are disputed. I have my doubts as to whether the category is a good idea (no one has added to it in 7 1/2 years), but you're wrong about it being improper or unfair. Useless or pointless might be a more realistic indictment. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:50, 31 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
