In hindsight I see that my comments on his controversy were not fully up to Wikipedian standards, but I think it's inappropriate to give the controversy no mention whatsoever. Having played the game for some time, though not so much anymore, I know there are legions (pardon the pun) of "old-schoolers" who see his name as synonymous with everything that is bad about the game. I wholeheartedly believe Wikipedia should include such content. --BDD 18:42, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

If you can word it more neutrally, and perhaps cite a specific source for that opinion, it can probably be added back. The previous version overshadowed the rest of the article with the "controversy" which, frankly, is not Mark's fault alone. -- Netoholic @ 21:21, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)

[edit] =

Should the article at least make some mention of the fact that some consider him batshit insane? It'd be easy enough to find cites for.

This article was mentioned today on the official Magic: The Gathering site, here. Brace for impact. :) --Ashenai 11:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Why didn't anyone mention that he wrote for "Roseanne"? That comes up in pretty much every article he writes. (Xanitross 13:45, 3 March 2006 (UTC))

Well, he's not really known for his work for Roseanne. Nonetheless, you're probably right, it could be mentioned. Wanna do the honors? :) --Ashenai 14:05, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
