Wikipedia talk:Is wikidrama bad?

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This stuff is overdone. I just came here from an RfA where three out of every four !votes listed "drama" as a reason for !voting the way that they did. I've seen entries at DRV described as "wikidrama" just by their very existence. Enough already! 74.137.106.2 (talk) 15:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Catharsis

[edit]

I was under the impression that Catharsis as psychotherapy has been discredited. My psych teacher (read: not a WP:RS) said that it generally leads to elevation of emotions because anger (etc.) isn't a physical thing, it's an emotion and cannot "build up." On the contrary, by "unleashing" it, we actually "feed" it. I have no WP:RS as I already handed in my text book. --Thinboy00 @819, i.e. 18:39, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
