Sort of annoying how you can't disclose ANYTHING about what went on, but as long as it's out of the way, I suppose it's a good thing
My main worry is that this sort of thing might continue in the future. Face it, spoilers are still coming out despite your absence R_E... Its only a matter of time before Wizards might find a new target to scare . Not much we can do about it I suppose.
It's good to see this whole boondoggle resolve without immense financial losses on your part (which would've been a tad svj :sadcool:) or Wizards shooting itself in the leg too badly.
Congrats, good sir, and continue your excellent tenure amongst the Magic community with pride.
I'm happy for you RE. Glad this ****storm is history. And thank you Haloscope for helping our guy stay safe. You're a good man.

My guess is that instead of having one main 'middleman' for rumors as we had in the past, we'll have to have a large number. Though perhaps that only puts targets on many more backs. But then at least one person is less likely to be singled out.
*shrug*
At any rate, the rumor process is going to have to adapt and evolve.
Congrats, WB, and who do I talk to at Wizards concerning disclosure under Freedon of Information?
J/K - good to have you back - but seriously, are they at all legally obliged to disclose the terms of the settlement, or is it a private, out of court matter now?

Wecome back, R_E.
What can I say that already hasn't been? Still, it's good to see you back with everything worked out and the rumor mill will never be the same. Anyway, WB!
Hey, I'm just wondering since you can't talk about specifics now when can you?
Edit: I guess I should change my signiture, huh?

Hey Dan,
I can't answer the question about specifics about the settlement.
I can't answer the question about which specifics.
I can't answer the question about the question about specifics.
If someone asked a question about a question about a question about specifics, however...
@Haloscope: How long does it normally take in a case like this before both parties may talk in public about the settlement they agreed to and the nature of the settlement?
@Rancored: I would say congrats, but I still have the feeling you got screwed a bit in the end. I just hope you didn't have to pay them for supporting the game you love. Whatever the settlement, it's good that thanks to it you can now leave this craziness behind you.
A huge congratulations and welcome back is in order, R_E. While the loss to the rumor mill will hurt, to at least have you back is worth it.
I was gonna write my own post, but this says it all better than I could ever have.

Welcome back, (though you have never left). It is wonderful to have you here again. And even though the "Rumor Man" has been killed by Wizards, you are here and your life is safe again. That's the most important thing.
I am really happy that it ended this way :thumbsup:, probably the best possible for you at the moment.

Seems like to me with the new guy running the rumor mill they with dissension and probably the sets like with Snap do have it under greater control so this doesn't happen again to someone but are still going on with rumors of cards believed to be in the new set so I'm happy they got that whole thing going again. It's good that you got it over with. I don't think there were that many people that stopped alltogether cause of this but I know there were some.

One Question for the Lawyer.
What does Wizards determine as "publicly available info"? Is a Spoiler in the Rumor Mill public? Please elaborate.
Thanks Again Mr Attorney.
