I know, right. I mean Marlena has her
own excellent Wiki that is solely devoted to the comics.
One lady, called Lyssa, tried to point this out to them, and got mercilessly attacked for her trouble. Here is the whole ugly incident:
One of the staff called Charmdozo posted this:
Lyssa (I remember her from the Charmed Sons board) replied:
Lyssa is right here. CBS/Paramount has never taken a position on the comics.
Charmdozo (henceforth to be referred to as CharmedBozo):
Translation: We have spoken, you shut your pie hole.
Lyssa:
Once again, Lyssa is correct. The Buffy comics are canon because of Joss Whedon's involvement with them.
CharmedBozo:
Because I'm too lazy and arrogant to answer you.
Lyssa:
She pretty much calls CharmedBozo out here. He has power, therefore, he is always right.
CharmedBozo:
No, that only means that they are licensed to write Charmed comics. That has nothing to do with them being canon or not.
Lyssa:
Nice shout out to Storygirl's site. However, Lyssa, do you think this prick is listening to you?
She goes on to say:
So the Wikia says its about the show only? Then that comics stuff should NOT be there.
However, CharmedBozo ain't listening:
Dude, that is so beside the point. Lyssa wasn't talking about who created what show, she was talking about the comics being canon or not.
Lyssa:
I couldn't have said it better myself.
CharmedBozo:
Once again, I have spoken. Shut up, you silly woman!
Lyssa:
Lyssa keeps asking for proof, but CharmedBozo ain't giving it. Reason, it doesn't exist.
CharmedBozo:
Talk about arrogance. Lyssa will be blocked if she says the comics aren't canon. No wonder that site has such a bad reputation.
Lyssa:
Yes, Lyssa, they're going t block you because you won't tow the line.
At this point, P3Nathan tries to step in:
Nice try, P3Nathan.
Lyssa:
Exactly, this wikia should be for the show. Lyssa once again points out Storygirl's comics wikia.
She goes on to say:
Paul Ruditis himself said it was up to the readers to accept or reject the comics as canon. I don't see why CharmedBozo is making such a big stink here.
But...
CharmedBozo:
Shut up and tow the line, you stupid woman, or we'll block you. We're right, no matter what you say.
By now, Lyssa has almost had enough:
She's right in that CharmedBozo has been arrogant and rude to her throughout because she dared to question their stupid policy.
CharmedBozo:
You were rude, CharmedBozo, by telling Lyssa to shut up and accept the comics as canon, and threatening to block her if she didn't.
Lyssa:
And that was pretty much it. Poor Lyssa was raked over the coals because she dared to question the Charmed Wikia's policy of considering the comics canon.
