Admittedly I don't like Joe Zhang (but that is a rant for another time), but I
don't think he was actually lying there, he was just mistaken (though
doing some fact checking wouldn't of killed him), oh well.
I kinda liked Dave, he seemed alright to me, I guess he just got a little
heated there, still had no problem really with him, I realize this isn't a
democracy so I have no right to complain about who gets banned or who
doesn't, so I won't.
Oh well, whatever.
End of post.

left the board.

Oh, well his status says "Not Active", and when Mike left the board his
status said "Active", so obviously measures have been made to make
permanent Dave's departure.
Is there specific reason for this?

No action needed to be taken, Jacob. Look at his member name: Quit Forum. Which is exactly what he did. Quit the forum.

But his status does say "Not Active", I thought that meant that the person
was banned.
Did I misunderstand the purpose of the "Status" in the profile?

"Questionably artistic"? Do I really have to do this litany again? Characters created for children's books. Characters not owned by the person using them to do, by his own admission, pornography. One character currently the sole property of a children's charity hospital which depends in part on fees paid by licensees of that character. And this is something to support?
I use "asshole" because Penn & Teller have taught me I can't be sued for so doing. Otherwise, there are somre really choice words I would use.

Earlier in the thread I made it clear that I think the concept behind Moore's book was deconstructionist crap. I'm certainly not a supporter. That being said, the fan is certainly ignorant of the "specific" content of the book, and judging by the reviews from people like Neil Gaiman, there is apparently some "message" behind it. Yeah, I'm rolling my eyes while I type.
The fan could very well be an asshole; if his intent was to take it home and pleasure himself, for instance, yeah, asshole to the max. Otherwise, beyond suffering from questionable taste in literature, I don't see how he is being an asshole. I think Moore is being an asshole, without question. Of course this is just my perception of the situation. Maybe my understanding of "asshole" is just different.

I wonder why it is so hard for some Byrne fans to try out his latest DC offerings? I understand that some folks love Marvel and their characters and remain fans of them no matter who is working on them. But if a creator whose work you enjoyed went to another company (JB to DC or a Jeph Loeb to Marvel), wouldn't you give them a chance at their new company if you enjoyed their previous work. I learned long ago that while I loved Spider-Man or Green Lantern, I enjoyed the series more when certain people were doing the book. If the creator were talented enough and you enjoyed their versions of your favorite characters, wouldn't you give them a chance to make a new character become one of your favorites? Just something to ponder when some folks are wondering if the New Atom is worth your time or not.

My problem with the New Atom is manifold:
1. JB isn't writing it. No knock on Gail, I'm just more interested in JB's work when he does it all.
2. I'm not a big fan of the Atom. I'm one of those odd duck fans that has to have a perfect balance of interest in the creative team and interest in the characters.
3. The proprietor of my local comic shop is a complete tool. I refuse to shop there anymore. To follow JB's current stuff I would pretty much have to get a subscription...which I'm pondering. I live on the Gulf Coast, not exactly the cradle of civilization...
4. My interest in DC is limited to the following characters: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and the Teen Titans.
5. I find DC comics to be particularly prone to inflict paper cuts on readers. Ok, I kid with this one...
