Actually, you've proven to be ignorant yourself by missusing the word itself when trying to insult me.

Quote:

You can keep using "good" and "bad" as a standard as long as you want, it still won't make them one.



I've never said my opinion of good is universal. My take on things is that I judge each story by its own merits while for you they're good as long as they stay in continuity because they're part of one big endless "story". Am I right or wrong?

They are PREFERENCES, not standards that everyone has to follow.



Which is exactly why there should be monthly comics for each side.

Quote:

Just because for your continuity stories aren't good doesn't make it so.



Sigh... I've said IN SOME CASES they're not good. In other cases they are (like Waid's Flash). You still don't understand that my view is broader than yours.

Quote:

When a writer works in an IN CONTINUITY story, then he should respect it.



Which is why the fact that the story is in continuity or not should be an option and not mandatory. That way anyone could do an OUT OF CONTINUITY story and not worry about continuity lovers whining about it.

Quote:

If he doesn't want to do that, then he shouldn't work with continuity, no one is forcing him.



Right, but that doesn't mean he should stop working in the monthly comics altogether. Only in the ones that use continuity.

Quote:

Of course, the problem isn't that writers don't want to work with continuity. The problem is that writers only want to work with the continuity they like.



Selective continuity, which should be considered outside continuity by people like you. It's very simple: just pick up the comic and say out loud "this is outside continuity" and don't worry about it.

Quote:

In Waid's case, it's the Silver Age, which is why when given the chance to revive it, he took it.



There's fucking Birthright again. Stop with it already. This is not about Birthright, you're the one bringing it up over and over again. I haven't even read the fucking thing and I probably won't based on the reviews it's gotten.
