The vitriolic feud between Byrne and Bobbi was widely known up at the Marvel offices at the time especially when things deteriorated so badly they wouldn't talk to each other and all communication had to be carried out through intermediaries. By this point, everyone knew the end was near.



Yes. She is. Poor Jodi however has become so disgusted by Byrne's crass behavior that she has opted not to post there any longer. Given her admiration for the man, this was one Hell of a feat on Gentleman John's part.

Byrne manages to turn a thread about Bill Sienkiewicz into yet another thread about himself and his lousy reputation:

Yikes, check out the pedostache on that dude in the photo.

Who's everyone?



Where have you seen Jodi state that she was disgusted?

You have to realize by now that other than the auto-contrarians that you are so very obviously catering to (and who are lapping up your hate-filled spew like it was fresh water), no one in their right mind would fall for these scenarios that you are creating out of your warped imagination.

Like many a Detractor before you, you try to enhance a story by filling in the missing gene sequence gaps with Detractor DNA (yes, I know I've used THIS ONE before) & everyone knows a Detractor's DNA is far too unstable to be used for anything other than fodder & flotsam.

You mean once again...at JB's own forum (???)...he had the gall to get involved in a discussion that had little to do with himself? And then, out of the blue, his fans made the mistake of interacting with him...at his own forum (???).

I'm shocked, I tell you! Shocked!

What would you like here? Marvel's personnel records for the time? Taped transcripts? I know you're scrambling to spin this in a way that you can dismiss it as "hearsay" or gossip on the part of "agenda-motivated detractors" so go for it and continue polishing that untarnished statue of your shining hero, John Byrne. For those interested in accuracy, however, understand that it was widely known that there was a strong amount of friction between Bobbi and Byrne. Given Byrne's reputation even then, it was widely expected that he would quit in a snit even from very early on.



Poor Jodi politely suggested to Byrne that he was above the sort of churlish behavior he displayed in his crude comments about Jean-Francois' Halloween costume. Byrne reacted to this criticism rudely and childishly prompting Jodi to wish him well. Jodi, once a very active member of the forum, has not posted again. Nothing here is "Imagined" and the entire exchange can still be seen over at the JBF.

I guess though it IS possible that Poor Jodi is busy and just hasn't had the time to post. It's just coincidental that this absence happens on the heels of Byrne snapping at her and telling her off.

Who is criticizing this?!?

However...


JBF Member: "Hey! Look at this situation with Bill Sienkiewicz...!"

John Byrne: "I wonder how long until this becomes about ME!"

I had beans for lunch.

She'll be back. Give her, oh I don't know...6 or 7 days? <snicker>

And cut!

Hmmmm. Actual facts instead of guessing games? This is pretty much all you ever provide. Sure, it provides a bit of comedy when I read these theories & innuendos from people that are very obviously ignorant. You (and a few Detractors here & there) like to take a few words & expound & expand upon these few words with fabrications & exaggerations.

Sure, there are several gullible opportunists like yourself who latch onto these imaginary tales &, based on your own fantasies & wishful thinking, believe it all as though it's gospel (more comedy for me).

Detractors like yourself dwell in this Bizarro realm & find comfort & support in exaggerated negativity & out & out falsehoods. Peculiar behavior from delusional fools who believe they are providing some sort of service, when in fact all they ever really provide is a small little corner in which a few pathetic individuals (non-pathetic individuals need not be offended) can gather (metaphorically speaking, of course) & showcase how much fun it is to hate on someone.

You really have absolutely no idea about what happened behind-the-scenes. It is all assumption, innuendo & wishful thinking. If you keep drinking from those shattered glasses you're going to bleed to death from the jagged shards making their way down your foaming throats.



That's where you are wrong...again. You insist on adding your own fantasy scenario & try to imply that Jodi (who is anything BUT Poor, but this is your phobia, of course, for anyone who has had any sort of negative interaction with JB) would actually stoop to your level of criticism. You see JB's reaction as rude when in point of fact it was quite the opposite. It was JB being honest & forthright. JB is very obviously not a child & while Jodi's intentions were obviously very honorable, they still took on the form of chiding someone who needed no chiding. JB was obviously (I guess this is the word of the day!) resentful & could very easily have taken things to a whole 'nother level, but contrary to popular opinion hereabouts, I believe that JB actually likes Jodi (based only on their positive interactions in the past & only inasmuch a someone could like someone else through the Internet) & this little spat should be nothing but a blip on the radar.
The fact is that Detractors like yourself have latched onto yet another very minor negative interaction between JB & one of his fans & are attempting to blow it out of proportion...again. Comedy gold for yours truly, of course, but apparently a very serious issue for most Detractors. Weird.



Oh no. I truly believe that Jodi was hurt by JB's reaction, but I personally do not believe that she should have taken it as hard as she apparently has. Like I mentioned elsewhen, when Jodi first joined the JBF she showcased a rather overly sensitive nature, but she soon realized that the situation wasn't as serious as it seemed & there was a bit of a misunderstanding & she perked right up immediately. I hope she does return because her presence there would be greatly missed. Chalk it up to JB's quirkiness & lighten up (actually that advice could work for a few Detractors...if they were receptive to good advice, that is).
