I really don't think anybody is wishing a heart attack on JJ. BOLS is running that stupid contest, some guy figures the best way to get a thread with the most replies (and thus, a free box of models, whoopee) is some ridiculous rumour that will spark posts full of concern, rage, slanderous arguments, and "IB4L". It sparked interest on our forum, I imagine it's working in the lounge too. That being said, should it turn out to be true, aside from being horrible timing on the OP's part, I'd wish the guy a speedy recovery.

paint me green and call me a huge noob, but what has JJ done to GW to earn him so much ire from the community?

Disliking him for what he has done to GW is one thing, wishing a heart attack on someone is another.

There are very few people who deserve to die. Jervis, as much as we dislike him, is not one of them

what that kid said.

Oh feth right off.

I may think the guy is the worst thing to happen to 40K since Gav Thorpe, but that doesn't mean I want him to die.

Jesus Nofasse - get your head examined. What kind've people do you think we are?

Nothing, really. Just a few hard-case fan boys who don't like it when someone has a different idea to them.

This really isn't a topic for speculation. This needs to be locked, at least until there is some real news on Jervis's health one way or the other.

From Warseer:
"After speaking with the Staff from Bell of Lost Souls, we have the following facts:

The Original Post from has been deleted due to similar activity and they have *...acted accordingly...*

We also consider the matter to be a Hoax and Closed.

I will say that Jervis can rest easy that many, *many* people were thinking good thoughts of him and his family."

Called it

We cannot blithely cast away the liberties our forefathers bequeathed us, for once they are lost they can never be reclaimed as easily. For we are a forum, a forum of malcontents and black-hearted farceurs.

You two are horrible monsters, oh yes. And massive witches.

As the original thread on BoLS has been nuked I think we can safely lock this thread as any further discussion about a fake rumor is moot.
