Absolutely. This rumor stuff, how/why JB ever left a book, stuff about what's been said on this forum, who cares about that outside the usual message boards? Maybe wikipedia is a good thing, but this taints it horribly.

Dave, I agree with you that "rumors" and "opinions" can easily taint any system.  I would love to hear anyone suggest any "untainted" system out there, because I am racking mybrain trying to come up with one at the moment.

The problem is that there are people out there that love rumors and gossip.  We have magazines, TV programs, heck even TV channels, that are dedicated to sharing current rumors in the entertainment and sports industries.  Unfortunately, comics are just another form of entertainment and hearing about why JB left a book is just as interesting to some people as how Britney Spears stole a man from a pregnant mother in order to marry him and give birth to his child (as of yesterday).  Because JB is a celebrity, intentional or not, he is just as much open to speculative reports.  It is that seedy portion of all reporting that while many of us vocally dispise, there is a majority that sucks its blood from like the leeches that they are.  It may be distasteful, but a lack of taste is not a crime.

When did I ever ask you for anything? You really can't read, can you? And you're an editor, I understand?

The Internet needs an editor. I nominate myself. My first duty will be to give myself a hefty pay raise.
