I was going to point out that my 'as all right thinking people do' remark was what I thought would be seen as a fairly obvious joke, but now I won't bother because your outraged response is just more fun.
Right. Umm... er, *thpppt* But seriously, that kind of opinion is not entirely unheard-of on the interweb, and sarcasm is not always the most easily indicated thing in text-based interactions. At any rate, the day I start feeling genuine outrage over a difference of opinion on a comic book is the day I walk in front of Rush Limbaugh dressed like a diet pill.
And do I really have to answer that question, because I think it's been answered by a) what you didn't quote
Real quick; I'm assuming that you're implying some kind of intentional deception on my part by not including the full text of your post. If not, feel free to correct me, but that wasn't my intention. I almost never quote a full post, especially not on a forum that doesn't provide a hot button or other tool specifically for it. I just assume that the usual readers on that forum are quick enough to know that I'm replying to the full post without having to direct-reference the entire thing.
If someone appears to make a mistake in their references (and Grant has done this in the past) and someone tries to defend them by saying it's deliberate that is basically a bid to render them immune to criticism on one of the main planks of a storyline.
Right. But not to the degree of having a really colorful, sattellite-missile-firing, JLA-ish headquarters-having group of Gods that pop up to fight evil. Not to mention that one of them can be hurt by a leaf 'cause his woman don't love him. The point I'm trying to make is not that Grant can't make mistakes, but just not to THIS degree unless it was purposeful. It's like if he wrote a fiction piece about JFK really being a ninja; I'm going to take it on faith that Grant isn't actually that stupid.
Isn't it better to take Occam's Razor and work on the principle that, until we get evidence to the contrary, this was a mistake?
Yeah, normally. But see above.
Peter Outerbridge sings! Ah yes, the "I defended a portion of Morrison's work, so I must obviously worship at his altar" argument. Very clever, because it hasn't already been used to death on this forum.
In which case I would have thought you'd be better at spotting it, because that's not what Ganesh is saying here. It seems to be you claiming that people are accusing you of being a rabid Morrison fan, in order to deny this, as though it somehow proves your argument.
By the semi-snarky language, I was assuming that was what he was saying. Besides which, it seems that is what he was implying here, as he didn't deny it in his follow-up post and in fact seemed to follow that tack. So, y'know.
Oh, and yeah, I will be buying the third issue. |

and I am so definitely buying #3 of Vimanarama. I'm enjoying it. I agree with the stance Pappuce and many others have taken on Vimanarama - fun wild ride.
