Historical character flaws

[edit]

"One flaw in Addison character was a tendency to convivial excess, which nonetheless should be judged in view of the somewhat lax manners of his time" is an absurdly judgemental and self-glorifying sentence for one of us to be writing in this century. Something more neutral, perhaps?

You are absolutely right. The entire article was filled with this kind of sophomoric blathering. It had to be overhauled. SamJohn2013 (talk) 03:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
