 * Cleaning up inflammatory additions without altering the over all gist of the points at play is simply bringing a fairness and balance to the article. Cleaning up a comma splice is not picking a fight. The overall points are still present in the article without the article being overtly/obviously pugnacious.

 * I need to add... Thank you for the references. I am brand new. I saw the film by Ben Stein and read the article. There were obvious additions that seemed unnecessary and inflammatory. I left 99.9% of the article untouched and left accusations in place as they were essential to the discussion. I did not mean to offend but simply make the article clearer and less lop-sided in its presentation. Being new, I guess I stepped into Wikipedia culture issues. My gratitude for your instruction and apologies for any offence. Compositionprof (talk) 22:21, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * NOne of that matters, the content you changed was long-standing content arrived at by consensus. To make the change you need to change the consensus at the talk page. Slatersteven (talk) 08:32, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * None of what you've said changes a thing I'm glad the use of a comma splice is "long held consensus." It gives a clue as to the calibre of the intellects involved. This is why I instruct my university students that Wikipedia is NOT an acceptable source. Thanks for the written example for future courses. Compositionprof (talk) 12:53, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Read wp:npa. Slatersteven (talk) 12:56, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Also the "long-held consensus" was about the other stuff you altered (the "inflammatory additions" as you put it). Not one grammar change. Slatersteven (talk) 12:58, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
