Cut this for turning into ConversationInTheMainPage. The wiki is not a forum. Please see ExampleIndentation, HowToWriteAnExample, and RepairDontRespond. We don\\\'t usually list \\\"aversions\\\", certainly not when \\\"aversion\\\" is just an euphemism for \\\"does not apply\\\". Note that the expression GoldenMeanFallacy inherently expresses criticism. It\\\'s only a GoldenMeanFallacy if Aristotle treats it as a fallacy.
* TakeAThirdOption / GoldenMeanFallacy: Aristotle believed that every virtue represented a sensible third position between two equally bad extremes. For example, in conversation, say too little and you\\\'ll be considered shy, say too much and you\\\'ll bore everyone else. \\\"Wit\\\", therefore, is the virtue of saying just the right amount.
** He did, however, AVERT the Golden Mean Fallacy in other areas, pointing out that there are places where this does not apply. Murder, for instance, is not an area where this applies. The \\\'right amount of murder\\\' is not a matter of finding an area between killing everyone, and killing no one.
