Just last week, I was reading a library book where someone had written notes in the margins. However, the book I was reading was about physics, and the vandal was pointing out factual errors with what the author was saying. In principle I'd say that it's wrong to write in a library book, but in this case it saved me a whole lot of trouble and confusion.
I've seen plenty of comments in margins that have been interesting; like, I was reading this postmodern philosophy book, and someone wrote in the margin "Turn to page 132-- Author says EXACT OPPOSITE of what he does here"... it was actually pretty insightful... and it was just one line, instead of a whole long rant, so the reader could just ignore it if they wanted to...
I do agree that this crosses the line, though, but it just goes to show there are no absolutes out there.
