No, Harry. No one's objecting to someone pointing it out...as long as it's done kindly. It's the rudeness we object to. Like this response...

Good question, Harry. How about ONCE?

If you're so worried that someone might read the topic and (god forbid) think a rumor might be fact, then all you have to do is, early in the thread (so no one misses it), politely mention that it's just a rumor.

ONCE is all that's needed. It's not necessary to jump all over each comment and repeatedly remind us that it's unsubstantiated. Especially in a way that attempts to make us feel stupid.

No one minds it being mentioned. The problem is, that remark (above) doesn't sound like someone merely trying to point something out in order to help potential noobs. It sounds more like anger, and it intimates that we shouldn't even be discussing it.
