Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

But modern English doesn't use thorn or eth, so there are no rules about using them. There is absolutely no reason to enforce an arbitrary standard on someone using thorn in a historically precedented way. They're not "breaking the rules" in the first place.
On the contrary, they are breaking the rules - of modern English. And I'm disagreeing with their way of doing it.
And yes, this is "right" and "wrong" as a matter of taste more than anything, but then again so is using thorn and eth.
