I think that the internet has blown any criticsms of Mr Byrne way out of proportion.
I stand by my "seperate the art from the artist sentiment", and I wish people could do that.
My first american comic was a Spider-Man drawn by JB (a fact I only discovered after my frst visits here), twenty years later I can still see nearly every panel in my minds eye. Coming here and finding that the artist holds views that I don't agree with and has said things I'd prefer he hadn't does not diminish the story in my mind.
For that I'd like to thank him.

How anyone could have missed Perez on the Titans would be beyond me. Wasn't that one of the best selling comics of that era?

Gee, so Eminem gets up and sings with an avowed homosexual and hugs him and suddenly all is forgiven.How nice. (etc)*** Seriously -- you became a Forum member just for that? You think Eminem reads these posts?

And by some strange coincidence I used to have a rat that didn't love M&M's.

That, and that i don't like the sound of his voice on rap, are the reasons by you won't see me buying any of Eminem's albums!.

>They hate you because they're supposed to? What about those who decided to come on over to find the truth and were disappointe with what they found and whilst they don't hate you find they don't like what they find? Is that herd mentality?**** This question comes from personal experience?

| Matt, so sorry I almost disturbed your sleep when one of your board members went nuts, made borderline threatening posts, then took them down to hide behind a wall of cowardice. I just thought you might be interested in doing your fucking job as a moderator. No other halfway decent moderated forum would've let Mike's behavior stand. |

I'm sorry, Dave, but what part of 12:30 AM in the morning, me being asleep, and being called out for, you know, not doing something in the middle of the night don't you understand? Good God, but you can be a pompous ass when you want to be. You took what Mike wrote personally, but reading it in context he didn't liken you to Hitler or anyone else. He wasn't talking about you, he was speaking in generalities. But, oh no. Bastion of all-things PC "Big Tex" Dave Farabee gets his feelers hurt, and he can't possibly understand context. No, instead he calls on the mods to do his bidding...in the middle of the f**king night. My behavior? Mine? Yeah. I dared to ask you to clarify "advanced copy" and then went to bed. Wow. Gotta watch that kind of behavior from now on lest I rub Big Tex the wrong way.
Cry me a river and give me a frickin' break. Take you pit accusations of this forum and go play with the other kewl kids on Ain't It Cool, Dave.

Oh yeah, one more thing...bullshit. Your own Ain't It Cool does worse than that on a daily basis...or don't you read other message boards? Hmmm...riiiiiiiight. Never seen anything like that at all on Newsarama.
Waiting for Dave to totally not get it and come back with "but I thought you guys were better than that".

Yippee! Haven't had an "I'm leaving and I'm leaving for good" post in a long, looooooong time.
Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. Yeah, I know you were looking for originality, but a classic is a classic for a reason.
