I know... I was saying that is a valid option. Not the only choice.

If that happens to be the case, if the writer wants to tell a story IN continuity then he has to RESPECT that continuity with the same kind of respect he'd want people to give HIS story.
What if he doesn't want his story to be respected in continuity? Then he can just fuck up? Writers like Morrison care more about telling a good story than in fitting it to a strict continuity. Look at Animalman. How does the last part fit into continuity? What happened and what didn't happen? It's a big mess, but that's not important, what's important is that it's a good story.

So they can't tell their stories. As simple as that. Your story is brilliant? Whoops, doesn't fit. Too bad.
It's funny that you call them whinners. You're whinning too right now, because there's people that don't respect your precious long time continuity. And, if you don't mind me saying, your reason for whinning is a lot more anal-retentive than theirs.

It happened, accept it...
Ah, right. It's cosmic event that really happened and rules our lives to this day.

IT'S JUST A FUCKING STORY!

And it's related in that you accused me of defending MoS because it's the version 'I' want to count, when that's not true, not in the sense that you mean.

I want it to count because it's what was published after Crisis, the same way I'd defend a version with a million Kryptonian survivors if that's what had come after Crisis.

We've been through this before, why won't it stick in your mind? lol
I just can't accept that there's a guy that defends stories not for good they are, but for how valid they are continuity-wise. If a comic about Superman being made of poo had come after crisis instead of MoS, would you defend that?

But it's something that's been covered 100%. The story that told the moment you wanna tell is told second by second. There's no free space. What do you do?
