Yes, that's what I'm doing. Shutting up the troll. The opening post of this thread is the troll. If you're going to call people insulting names, at least use the names that are definitionally applicable. I always do.

Why do you always end up posting so much in topics you don't want to discuss?

I'm actually willing to bet a great deal on this because he didn't object when that exact thing already happened.


But hell, let's just keep hearing the same arguments over and over again until those of us on this side get exhausted enough to throw up our hands and say, "fuck it, enjoy your creatively bankrupt comics."


It's easy to get exhausted when you're defending the indefensible. Either it's wrong to use the creations of others for your own ends or it's not. That's an easy standard to promote. "It's wrong, except when Alan Moore does it" is what's tiring you out.

Joe. Take an hour. Re-read the thread when you've calmed down a little. Ask yourself which of us sounds upset. When you do, don't confuse exasperation and a lack of respect with distress.

I have told you to enjoy what I'm sure are delightful comics. If that's not enough for you, sorry man. Don't know what to tell you.

Ceci, you seem to be hearing what you want to hear.

You could try not being a condescending prick and just saying nothing. It's not like we get paid by the post around here.

That's the thing I'm having the hardest trouble with. I'm trying not to pick sides in this but I have questions, and apparently just asking the questions gets you attacked.

I picked up the Minuteman comic fully expecting to put it back down, but after reading it, I liked it. Silk Spectre was even better. I'm supposed to be sorry I based my opinion an actual experiences and facts, instead of just reflexively hating something?

You'd have a hard time convincing anyone of that with this thread.
