Erik Larsen? Could that be a little strong language to use for a guy who was influenced by another artist?

Feelings had nothing to do with the merits of your argument. Not even saying you shouldn't have made it. This place is all about free speech, with little or no interference, and it should be, as long as the powers that be will allow us that freedom.

It doesn't mean that I can't say that it's also likely to keep away the pros, not saying its good or bad just part of the package.

Does anyone else get the distinction? Is there a better way to explain it, I've tried half a dozen time, am I not doing it that well or is he being thick?

Joe's saying we're all free to say what we want. But if we drag an argument on forever just because we insist on having the last word, it's going to disgust people who otherwise are willing to accept the fact that we're assholes.

Every thirty days would be fine. It's the daily crap that pushed Tony over the line. Rick Trembles actually does something interesting and sometimes skips. That DeeMan guy and Tony DeGerolamo seem to be weekly. The problem with Steel is that he misdirects his promotion — saying a thread is about one thing, then slipping in the ad — or trying to direct existing threads to his shitty comic.

I once had a run-in with the DeeMan, though. Pissed him off so bad, he named the bad guy after me in the comic he was scripting.

I wouldn't have called him a thief until he decided to be a liar about it.

Exactly!

Allen, sometimes sees people disagreeing with him, as someone not allowing him (allen) to have an opinion.

"Free Speech" does not equal "Lying."



These are my questions to you, also.

But whether you were right or wrong on the facts, can you see where that after a time, it might be an annoying conversation to the other guy, so he left?

No. I only pointed out facts, which Larsen had already confessed to, but then chose to deny.

I might go a couple of rounds on opinion — Rex Lindsey vs Dan Parent, for example — but facts are neverending.
