First off, MOTA, let me adress some of your woefully inaccurate claims:

1. "King Krypton doesn't have the guts to say the things he's said to anyone's face." Wrong. I find that in your case, civility is useless. Others have used it, and it's gotten them nowhere. Further, I've encountered far too many egomaniacs and trolls such as yourself, and my patience with them has run out. Believe me, if I ever encountered you or anyone like you, I would more than gladly speak my mind.

2. "I used to respect him...." OK, you've told some pretty weak lies in the past, but this is just pathetic. You have NEVER respected the opinions of anyone other than those who share your "Byrne/Jurgens only" dogma. Even before you started polluting this forum with your rants, I saw the way you attacked anyone who didn't agree with you on other forums and I hoped that I would never have to put up with your hate. Lo and behold, you had to show up here, and you were just intolerant from the start here as you've been everywhere else. Don't even try to play the victim here. You brought this all on yourself.

3. "There's no difference between me calling you 'KKK' than there is you calling the post-Crisis fans the Taliban." First off, and I have said this countless times before, I have no beef with anyone who liked the post-Crisis comics, and never have. My beef is with those like you, who disrespect the memories of Siegel and Shuster and all their successors and rant and rave about how only 1986-1999 is a valid time for comics and that anything else in inherently evil. Second, "The Continuity Taliban" and "The Talibyrne" were terms invented by others over at the DC boards in response to those like you. I didn't come up with them. Further, you and those like you live up to that name with every word you post. You're intolerant of other people's tastes/opinions, you demand that everyone should be of the exact same mindset that you are, and you declare anyone who doesn't agree with you to be the enemy. You're trying to dictate what people should like and think. You and those like you are extremists, and you embody that name that was created over at the DC boards. That's the reason why I've used it. As for your "KKK" comment, I don't see where my respecting other people's tastes and not standing for your intolerance equates me with a bunch of genocidal racists. I don't find your little insult-name offensive, just stupid and poorly thought out. Much like everything you've ever posted....

4. "We can all see what an asshole you really are." The only asshole around here is YOU, pal. All those who've been lashing out at you have merely been fighting back. It's ME and everyone else here who's been stooping to your level, not vice versa. Believe me, I would much rather not have to see you spewing intolerance and hate all over this forum or any other. I don't come to these boards to start a fight. I don't insult people for having different opinions/tastes. I don't demand that they all conform to my mindset or else. That's what YOU have been doing. The rest of us have only been standing our ground. Again, don't even try to play the victim here. You're the one who started all this hate and dictator-like dogmatism on the 'Net. Any heat you take is entirely deserved, and I will never apologize for anything I've said to you.

Don't like my attitude? Tough. I have no tolerance for people like you, people who try to dictate what people like and think. Before you go trying to paint anyone as the bad guy, take a long, hard look in the mirror first.
