Shhhh. He might hear you.

I've done that to him a few times now, and he totally misses it every time. He just goes on and on critiquing his own bullshit.

He's so enamored of his own pontification, we could just throw his own lines back at him for days and he would never notice when he's arguing with himself.

Since that's what you do whenever I get you on something you can't disprove, yeah you probably do need to. You also seem to think that paraphrasing means to change someone's comments into something you want to hear because you can't deal with what they actually said.

Sad. You're a sad lonely little fat man.

SlowJoe thinks that his "secretive" posting has sailed over the heads of others, and congratulates himself on his keen trick.

Little does he know that the keen insights he feels so proud of were actually all in his head. Fortunately for him, that's the one place where there's any belief that he actually made any actual points.

Normally I'd worry about someone so entrenched in their own fantasy reality, but in SlowJoe's case it's just fine. It'd be a shame for him to have to live in the real world, what with him being so clearly ill-equipped to do so.

There's nothing you've said that needs to be proven false; you've already done an excellent job of proving yourself so illogical and dishonest that all I need to do is point at your foolishness and the job is accomplished. Every paraphrase was accompanied by your actual words so that there'd be an easy basis for comparison.

Here's another thing to point out about Geedis; he has some real size issues. Without knowing what my physique might be, he immediately jumps to trying to insult me by baldly stating that I have weight issues. His rush to do so is an indicator that he has severe problems around body issues.

Whether this means that he's overweight, or that he just has a morbid angst about becoming so are both possibilities. It's even possible that his mother or father has weight problems and he has issues with one or both of his parents. In any case it's clear that there's something unhappy and unhealthy that Geedis is struggling with.

Just for the record, O Fearful one, you've missed the mark on this one as well. Having too much weight has never been an issue for me. Thanks to dietary supplements and a slightly rigorous workout regimen over the last decade, I've managed to avoid being slightly underweight. I could stand to gain about one or two pounds, but I'm at a very healthy weight now.

I only mention this to illustrate just how unperceptive Geedis is, and as an illustration of his (possibly unconscious) tendency towards projection.

I wonder just how large Geedis really is, and just how badly he feels about himself.

EDITED TO ADD

Oops, I almost forgot to point out that he also seems to have issues with loneliness, as indicated in the same intended insult lobbed in my direction. It hadn't occurred to me before (but then again, I don't think about Geedis very much), but there's probably a good chance that Geedis doesn't have a lot of healthy off-line relationships. In which case I feel sorry for the guy and understand a little better the tenor of his posting. I hope that someday Geedis finds a person of suitable low maturity to interact with in his off-line life (and SlowJoe doesn't count. Literally. He seems to have a problem with numbers and what they mean).

John Byrne's 2008 output has been very mediocre.

Why come here and try to stir shit up, jwyatt?

"He sinks, but can't drown."

Yeah - I've bought FX1 & 2 though ..... I'm decidedly under-whelmed .... let's hope his Star Trek stuff is better.

According to sales data, the first issue of Byrne's FX sold about 6,000 copies and the first issue of his STAR TREK comic sold about 12,000 copies. So at this point, we can say there are about 6,000 diehard Byrne fans who will buy whatever he draws, and there are about 6,000 diehard Star Trek fans who will buy any Trek-related comic.

If Byrne sticks with the STAR TREK stuff, he can combine the two pools and have an audience that's nearly as large as what his DOOM PATROL and BLOOD OF THE DEMON enjoyed when DC canceled those titles.

I have seen a couple of pages from his Star Trek work and I am thinking it looks pretty good compared some stuff I've seen. That doesn't mean I will buy it...

So Ivy, when something slips by your keen intellect, you think it's "secretive," even if it was out in the open for all to see?

Stevv caught on before you did, I guess it couldn't have been all that "secretive," unless you consider things you don't understand to be secrets.
