What was the problem with it? I may have read it too quickly and missed it. It was simplistic (but it is a summary) and I did see at least one typo but it read okay to me.

From the various histories I've read, it's very misleading (if not flat out inaccurate) in the way it tells the story. It's a fluff piece and I expect something a lot more rigid when I'm reading something from an encyclopedia. I used to sit down and read volumes from the World Book Encyclopedia just for the fun of it when I was in high school. I preferred it over fiction. If I owned a set of encyclopedias today I'd probably be reading a volume of that before I'd even pick up a comic book.
This reads like it was written by a 15 year old that hung out at Greg's site for a year and never really understood the difference between fact, rumor, speculation, & generalizations. I already have very little patience for people who can't discern between a literal and figurative comment.
When recounting history, it is always best to quote from 1st generation sources and find reference material that dates back to the actual material you are writing about. This piece looks very revisionist. I classify it as flat out propaganda.

Compare and contrast it to any other authoritative articles or interviews that were written about Valiant. I posted a link and made a comment so that my opinion would be known, but I want other people to use their own brains and come to their own conclusion. My opinion is just that-- an opinion. Todd has a different opinion and he is welcome to it. My belief is that you should be "wise as serpents and innocent as doves". There is a crapload of people who want to whitewash the facts and look at partial truths. The only way you can understand why my opinion is as polarized as it is would be if you read the listing and compared it's inconsistencies to other posted articles. Defiant1 |
