I've got to agree with virtually everyone else who has posted on this. If the thread was going to be kept, then it needed its accuracy questioning and its author (whoever it actually was) ridiculed before any outsiders saw it as a single unit (up to then, all of the objecting to it had been happening on here), which is what I was trying to do with my post without getting too serious, but leaving it up was risking dragging down everything that's good about this site that all of you have put so much effort into. (got that, David?)

There's a huge difference between a) reporting a bit of amusing gossip on MTF (or wherever) about players who are old enough and ugly enough to look after themselves and will never visit this site anyway and b) writing lots of unsubstantiated drivel about young players, especially if they're people who might actually read it.
