User blog comment:Videogamep/Why is Sabo Such a Big Deal?/@comment-4899461-20131212041312

Because of the databook. Despite the major hints in the manga (the anime was even more blatant about it) that Sabo was alive, we had a credible source in the databook that said he was dead. So against the better judgement of several users, we had to declare him dead. This pissed off any new users who didn't know about the databook or how things work on our wiki. And over the years regular editors here had to routinely stifle nearly any conversation relating to Sabo's death, so much so that there was a rule against making any blogs about him. Dealing with newbs like that for 3 or 4 years will make anyone pretty jaded about the issue and give you a low tolerance for hearing crap about it. And DP, the person who has by far dealt with the most crap about it is now unfairly the target of so many "I told you so!" posts when all he was doing was keeping the wiki clean.

Does that answer your question?
