Oh, I agree completely. Like I said, you would think by simply calling a section RUMORS (or News and Rumors like it is here), that would be enough. A rumor is a rumor is a rumor. But for some reason, that's not good enough for some folks. A rumor must be backed up and substantiated, they say. "Call out the Inquisition and have that rumor monger flogged!"What exactly is the difference between a CONFIRMED rumor vs. an UNCONFIRMED rumor.
A rumor is, by its very definition, unconfirmed.
A CONFIRMED rumors section would be a joke! But for those who just can't bear to read a RUMOR that might in fact be the mere hearsay that it is, they can hang out in the fairly empty and nonexistent CONFIRMED section and ride their high horse into the sunset. At that point, I think we should also have the ability to lock people out of the UNCOMFIRMED section just so they're not raining on everyone's parade. Those folks need to stop taking their geekdom so seriously.
