Bounding Into Comics is a valid source, covering major comic news especially relating to bad behavior from comic creators like John Layman, which the other comic press sites refuse to cover. They are a valid source and to blanket refuse to allow them to be used shows that there are moderators here who don't care about the truth and are only interested in pushing the lie filled anti-comicsgate narrative and covering up notable bad behavior that Layman has engaged in as far as making threats against peoples lives, along with attacking comic book fans, comic shops, and others in the industry. 172.243.244.217 (talk) 05:49, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a place to air personal disputes

Will keep an eye on this article... someone is trying to deface it for personal disputes. Dumb. Go somewhere else. --nathanbeach 13:56, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The information is valid and not "airing of a dispute". Layman's comments have been in the news a lot in terms of behavior, so they warrant inclusion as far as valid details about him in regards to behavior reflecting on him as a person of high standing in the industry. 209.10.146.253 (talk) 00:23, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "Bounding Into Comics" site does not mass muster for WP:RS. It's a blog (with occasional guest contributors) with no editorial oversight, pushing a clear agenda and narrative. It should not be used in a WP:BLP. 73.149.230.181 (talk) 11:04, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
