Talk:Bdelygmia

I think the information I provided for my term, “bdelygmia,” was sufficient to hold as its own Wikipedia page. Since there is no current page on the term, I included a definition, along with information about how the term relates to classical rhetoric. Furthermore, I gave insight into how the history of violence in rhetoric may possibly explain the use of bdelygmia. I believe it is important for individuals to know where bdelygmia may have originated from or how the use of the word itself can be justified in the field of rhetoric. In addition, I even stretched further and applied the term to social and political aspects by providing worldly examples of how the term is used in society. By relating a rhetorical term to current societal issues, it allows individuals to have a better understanding of how many rhetorical terms are in fact used on a daily basis and how relevant rhetoric is to many people’s lives in general. I am almost positive that rhetoricians are aware of this term and it is important in the field of rhetoric and communication, especially since I recently learned this term in my college rhetoric class. Most rhetoricians would never disregard the fact that defining unknown terms are important for expanding the field of rhetoric. Jeb253 (talk) 02:18, 22 October 2013 (UTC)Jeb253
 * I'm a human being. I use language. And just because I don't mention something on my WP page does not indicate that I have no knowledge of or interest in a subject. You obviously know little logic. A word nobody knows is a noise not a word and I am far from convinced that this word is anything but obscurantist jargon. You obviously know little logic.TheLongTone (talk) 16:22, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Although I understand your point, I think it is important to provide information about a new or unknown term. Just because you or somebody else does not know what a term means, doesn't mean it's not important. That's what Wikipedia is for anyway, right? It provides individuals with an encyclopedic knowledge of various terms and information from all different branches of knowledge. I don't think every single person who uses Wikipedia knows every single term. Plus - it might be helpful to look at the glossary of rhetorical terms. I'm sure many people have never heard of some of the words on that list, but there are pages about them, so why not provide information about a term like bdleygmia that does not have a page.

 * Hey! This page is one of the top results in relation to rhetorical violence, especially its definition. I know that this is from 2013, but this page is still important, though some sections could use updates/expansions. Thanks for the help with the research, original writer/s.
