Talk:polite society

The members of polite society had become inbred in behavior, living by outdated rules and concerned with dusty glories and old feuds. This example, even if it's not an original statement (and I suspect it is), is an attack upon a class (real or imagined). Apply the same kind of comment to a homosexual or minority, and it would have been removed within moments AND the commenter sanction (maybe even banned). There are MANY more examples that can be found and WITHOUT the pointed attack that this is. FIND ONE, or admit that this is nothing more than a propaganda machine.

Aren't you being a bit over the top with the drama? One bad example sentence in an entry that has exactly two edits, both 7 years ago, and you're talking about Wiktionary being a "nothing more than a propaganda machine"? We have upwards of 4 million entries, and I can guarantee you that there are quite a few that no admin has ever looked at.

As for looking for whatever it is you're talking about, it's hard enough keeping ahead of the blatant vandalism without having to analyse the appropriateness of every example sentence in every entry. This is a wiki: if you see an inappropriate example sentence, just replace it with a better one.Chuck Entz (talk) 03:43, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
