Please excuse my ignorance, but can someone tell me where in that article Aristotle comes into play? I did not see any attributed quotes, unless I missed one?

- sevensor 10y agoThis is very much in the style of Aristotle's writings. The parenthesized Greek words appear as if placed there by a translator who had to reach for an approximate word in English and wanted to be precise about the meaning of the original.
- ionwake 10y ago>And indeed trolling is said in many ways; for some call ‘troll’ anyone who is abusive on the internet, but this is only the disagreeable person, or in newspaper comments the angry old man. Sorry but if this prose is not Aristotle than where are his quotes? Or is the article simply meant to be written in his style?
- capnrefsmmat 10y agoThe article is facetiously claimed to be written by Aristotle and merely translated by a modern scholar, Rachel Barney.
- JulianMorrison 10y agoIt's pseudepigraphical.
- GrinningFool 10y agoIt's stylistically the same as Aristotle's writings. Very well done.
