Talk:Tyrant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There needs to be a full article on Bullying, which is a serious social problem and can cause major physical and psychological damage, and in extreme cases murder or suicide. Lee M 19:13, 14 Aug 2003 (UTC)

- Just to clarify: my point was that I was redirected to "Tyrant" from the query "Bullying". Lee M 01:19, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)
May I propose that, for the sake of NPOV, all living people are removed form this page? For better or worse, defining people as long after death has always been considered more neutral.--213.84.36.18 23:46, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
Why Mugabe? Not that I know much about him, but classing him with the others seems inconsistent with his wiki page.
I don't think that stating tyrants should be avoided...you could always say, "many view so-and-so as a tyrant," or something similar.--TwilightBat 00:11, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
According to what I learned, a tyrant is simply someone who rules illegally. This doesn't make a tyrant good or bad. It is true that in some places, tyrants turned out to be better than the legal rulers, but there is no proof that this was true in every circumstance. This article makes a lot of generalizations. Also, the sign at the top of the page says the neutrality of the article is "disputed". What's there to dispute? The article is OBVIOUSLY not neutral!
[edit] WTF? Blue Gene Tyranny?
Linking bullying to or from this article is kind of a stretch, linking a musician is just stupid.
The only connection is an assumed name, an affectation, "Tyranny" not "Tyrant." I am guessing either this "Gene Tyranny" guy or a fan put that there.

The image under etymology hasn't been showing for awhile. It has been removed.
