There's your content. It's not my fault you choose that form to communicate it. You could have spent the same amount of time bowing towards Saudi Arabia in the name of one God with better intent, execution and results. Or just watch one of those movies you like so much.

Mark Evanier spent two days with Steve Ditko in 1970 and apparently *didn't* spend two days with him sometime over the next decade. This makes him your primary source on Steve Ditko over the last forty years because...? How many people did you know 40 years ago who could judge the quality of your life's work right now? At least Ditko's correspondence with Dave Sim took place this century.

You confirm my point: "I'm not the one confusing the worth of art with the worth of a human."

There's your content.


Minus the arguments, context, sentences and all the, you know (well, you don't know), content. If Texan parlance offends your eyes, pluck them out.

One more time and then I'm done: does this matter to you when you're dismissing Marx? I haven't said anything about Ditko's sex life. I know you can't see what a hypocrite you are, or how you're not understanding anything we're talking about here, so I'll let you slide on back into your solipsistic hole.

You confirm my point, you are incapable of recognizing anything in art or humanity that falls outside your pre-set Marxist definitions and you blame others for your own willful blindness.

All designed to get you from one "shit" to the next, which they did. Any line of thought that would have included a "good for him" or "I support his right to..." is utterly removed from your viewpoint, or how much "shit" you use to communicate it. Common decency would suggest not going out of your way to insult people who don't think like you, but no one ever accused you of having too much common decency.

So it's suddenly ok to pull rank based on your region of origin? Is that why Lenin hired a guy with a Georgian accent to take orders and accomplish tasks and remove eyeballs?

His choice. I'm pretty sure there's more to do in Manhattan than stew in a little cubbyhole.

Does it matter? He still spent his whole life doing what he wanted to do, only to wake up one morning and discover that he was a cockroach on Charles' heel.

I guess he didn't question the inverse proportionality of radios and books enough, or something.
