Default Re: RAYMER...not so good?

Why does every baseless rumor post have a "I don't believe this but..." disclaimer?

Covering his ass. People do this all the time to say what they want to say yet somehow absolve themselves of responsibility for saying it. e.g. "I don't want to get out of line here, but <immediately says something out of line>"

IMO, not using the search function to find out if someone's talked about the book you want to discuss is one thing (for a humorous example of this, search for all the threads discussing an error on page 29 of GSIH - I cant count how many people started new threads on that), but not reading his posts to decide for yourself whether or not Raymer knows what he's talking about before launching into the smear thread is pretty irresponsible, even if it is prefixed by "I dont mean to spread rumors, but..."
