message: Nothing much to it, really. Rage is a powerful short-story, and considered one of Stephen King's most controversial. I think a plot outline and some more general info on the story would be a welcome addition to this page, which is pretty lacking in info. --JOK3R 18:45, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Request for Expansion 

message: This is a controversial subject - but it should be the responsibility of Wiki editors NOT to vilify this author for events that have nothing to do with his book. The tragedies at Columbine and recently at Virginia Tech (2007) do NOT have ANYTHING to do with Rage. It is irresponsible to make any connection between this novel and these events. Rage is NOT about a mass killing or massacre. It is a hostage story about a troubled teenager in which he happens to shoot two people who happens to be teachers. If you're going to relate a Stephen King story to a mass killing, see Cain Rose Up. LACameraman 19:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Take it easy, LACameraman, no one's going to accuse Mr. King (whom you're so bоldly upholding the honour of) of any (even furthest) influence upon recent tragic events. But there's also no necessity to call one's editions "exploitive" and "inflamatory", you just might write that making such links is "not desirable"... And, despite we want it or we don't, on many boards/forums this resemblence is being widely discussed. Armatura 19:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Ragebachman.jpg

message: I eliminated this info: "Barry Loukaitis, who killed two fellow students and his algebra teacher on February 2, 1996, in Moses Lake, Washington, even quoted directly from the book ("This sure beats algebra, doesn't it?") after shooting his teacher.", since that quote is not from the book (I just checked the whole e-version). In the future, I think that we should avoid using blogs as the sources for wikipedia, since they're hardly reliable.

thread_title: Incorrect Facts

message: My previous edition was undone. Care to explain why? The facts I presented are true. The book does not include that quote, period. So that whole citation is based on a mistake, at best, or a lie, at worst.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.72.70.115 (talk) 20:34, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Unexplained rollback

message: My memory may be faulty, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't hit his teacher with the wrench and then go get the guns, etc. I think the wrench incident happened before the actual events of the novel, and is used to explain his anger towards Mr. Denver.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.108.208.173 (talk) 07:58, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot incorrect?

message: We need a definite date on when the book was actually taken off the shelves at King's request. Jmj713 (talk) 22:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
