[edit] About your comment
While I agree with the sentiment-- you should be more civil in how you express your ideas here at wikipedia. So instead of saying "SCIENTIFIC COMM. DOES NOT FIND THIS BOOK VALID YOU FUCKING RACISTS" you could say "SCIENTIFIC COMM. DOES NOT FIND THIS BOOK VALID AND PEOPLE WHO DO HAVE BEEN CALLED RACISTS"
Though, it might be better not to write in all caps.
God, I know it's hard to keep a cool head when dealing with this nonsense, but if you really want to help improve the articles here you have to try to do that. I've been doing it for some time now and I hope, that if you have something good to contribute, and if you can do it without "yelling" you'll choose to help me. Please be civil, it's just a rule around here, if it's too much for you may be in the wrong place... futurebird 04:31, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
I gotta agree with futurebird. It's great that you disagree with the sentiments expressed on the page for The Bell Curve. They are fairly biased, and we could probably do better. But just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean you have to call them a racist. There are plenty of very intelligent people who believe what the book has to say, just as there are plenty of people who don't. Resorting to name-calling does little to elevate the argument. If you don't like the article, work to fix it.Vandymorgan 16:35, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
