The anti-pluto argument basically boils down to : Pluto is not like the other 8, so it should not count as a planet. However, when you get down to the nitty gritty details, people start to bring in extrasolar planets and arguments about exactly what attributes should be distinctive, and how. Major disagreements abound.

Personally, I would prefer that an intermediate category including the Plutons and Ceres, be set up.
