    I have to roll my eyes at these calls for a ban.

    If you think his threads and posts are that stupid, well, stay away from them.

    Is that so hard -- or does it deprive you of getting to act superior to him?

    (Obligatory disclaimer: I am not DB, nor a friend, family member or acquaintance. I have no alligiance to him in any way, but I just don't get why people get worked up over him.)

    When he posts an item that says someone extremely well known and admired is dead, how do you avoid that thread?

    Could we at least get a question mark on the thread title, you know until there is some sort of CONCRETE confirmation?

    Because DB's name is on it?

    I will say this, when Marlon Brando died I first read about it on a message board (not here). It didn't break for at least 12 hours after I first read the post.

    The person adding the detailed account of Eastwood's death appears to be a student at Wisconsin-Whitewater...

    Then might as well ban him if the alternative is to avoid any thread he starts.

    And SportsJournalists.com had Gerald Ford about an hour before the wires did.

    Doesn't make D_B any less of an idiot, though.

    Have looked all over and i see nothing.
    If it is true, kudos to DB and a great loss for the rest of us.
    If it isn't, you should just slink away
