Seriously?
Aw, man - are we really going to have to have a Zobovor article? -hx 17:31, 9 March 2011 (EST)
- That depends. What, exactly, did he do in regards to the Rhino releases of the cartoon? (Also, we have any actual proof he invented those terms? Last I checked his claims of inventing the GPS term came under scrutiny) --Detour 17:47, 9 March 2011 (EST)
- Also, I'm pretty sure the term "pseudo-canon" existed outside of Transformers before Zob introduced it. -hx 17:58, 9 March 2011 (EST)
- I'm also detecting an unwarranted undercurrent of mean-spiritedness in the article text. But I suppose that might just be humour I'm misinterpreting. - Chris McFeely 18:29, 9 March 2011 (EST)
- If he were closer to our group, I think the "obsessive-compulsive" line would come across less harshly - kettle, pot, etc. But knowing that several editors really dislike the guy, it does seem unjustifiably mean. I wouldn't be surprised if he's called himself that, but if that's the case, we could really use a cite to let readers know we're not bashing him out of nowhere. - Jackpot 18:50, 9 March 2011 (EST)

- Of course. But the average reader isn't going to research the page-history or, having done so, make that assumption. Edit: On the other hand, the average reader isn't going to know about the bad blood between him and certain editors, so.... eh, I don't know. I'd still err on the side of taking it out. - Jackpot 19:23, 9 March 2011 (EST)
