But given Burns' writing on webcomics is online, it makes it hard to quantify the credentials of his asserted claim to expertness.
This is what the arbitration committee had to say about Eric Burns in a finding of fact in the Webcomics case:
"Eric Burns is an established writer on webcomics who has a history of published writing in comics, short fiction, role-playing games, magazines, and poetry. He is a columnist for Comixpedia and an occasional writer for the Webcomics Examiner, and runs his own comic-oriented blog, Websnark."
I note from his Wikipedia article that he holds a BA Cum Laude in English Literature. He worked on games and publications for Steve Jackson Games. So he has a lot more qualifications to write about writing than just being a blogger.
