The issue is that the "forum level" is exactly where a lot of this fan fervor is spawned. Sure, you can believe anything you want. The unfortunate fact of the matter is that it can be interpreted both ways, as you said. That's the problem. As Godisme has mentioned in a few discussions, Occam's razor applies here - whichever assertion that makes fewer assumptions is more likely correct. People can say that Gin could be alive, but it's always evident that they're using evidence out of context to support their claim. So yeah - Gin is dead.

But really, this doesn't need to be discussed any more than it already has. I doubt that anything you say is going to spark off some massive Gin fanatic uprising, but I'm sure you know that this Wiki loves dropping the hammer on speculation.
