Quote: I'm Not Mister Mxypltk said: Hey, hey, hey, when did I say anything about the quality of the comic? I was complimenting JMS for A) Having the balls of pissing off so many fanboys and 2) Getting people like you to spread the word about his work. I was saying he's pretty smart, that's all, I didn't say anything about his talent. I haven't said anything about the comic itself because I haven't read it, and, frankly, it doesn't look intresting at all to me.
Half my statement was on the issue of writing talent and the fact that you were applauding his ability to get people to respond.
If I was supposed to disect that, you should be a bit more implicative.
And I also reitterate for sake of...Ahem..Continuity--That your idea of "pretty smart" seemingly implies bad writing.
ANEEweigh! On to formality!
Quote: And my argument against continuity was different: I don't recall saying a majority doesn't like it so it should be disregarded (though I might have), what I think I said is that there's a sector of the audience that doesn't NEED continuity in every fucking monthly comic, so it shouldn't ALWAYS be applied. Shouldn't be a rule, in other words.
Yes you did. No you didn't. If that second part was the case, then it was another clarification problem you had.
Everytime you'd make an isolated comment on continuity, you'd get all snarky and caricaturize a (and you'd stress) small number of "fanboys" and how they complain that their voice matters more and continuity is God or whatever. And even in that argument we had, you said something along the lines of 'they're just a smaller quotient anyway, so why deal with them'.
