    Good grief - they don't burst into flames from spontaneous combustion, you know! I mean, ok with all your other caveats - pens are personal, and you should be able to choose what you like and don't like. There isn't any reason to believe in or propagate false information to avoid things. There are many objects in the world that, if subjected to flames, will burn. Celluloid is one of them, but I use cell pens nearly 100 years old all the time. You might not know what you are missing, though.
