There was a post here about our upcoming book, but I've decided to edit it to the following:

I've been blocked from this thread, so I can't reply to the comments below.

All I can say is that I'm new here, and I thought introducing this book would be good for Grant Morrison fans to know about.

I'm sorry for offending anyone on here. I'll go cower in the comic book section of this site.

Regretfully,

Mike Phillips

Welcome aboard, Seqs. This is probably more of a Comics forum thread, I think. Mods?

(Normally I might poke you a bit for plugging yr wares on so brief an aquaintance, but this does look like a topic of genuine interest and I'm sure a good discussion could be got from it.)

Why not send him straight to Banhattan? So far, he did two posts and started two threads, both about his site and his merchandise.

I don't know. I think it's sort of cute. So terribly proud of having spoken on the phone to the big fella. If we invited him to one of the pool parties, he'd probably just come.

To the pool party, that is.

Dude, this is Barbelith. We don't put people in the airlock after two posts.

Yes, banning straight away would be a bit harsh. And according to my crystal ball he won´t post much after having mentioned his site anyway.

I've got a soft spot for Sequential Art as their exhaustive guide to Infinite Crisis saved me from having to waste any money buying any of it.

Might I suggest people continue the conversation in the comics forum thread.

Your crystal ball may have a point, based on past experience. Normally what happens in these cases is that after the initial plug and people going "Dude, that was totally a plug" there is either

a) Deafening silence until the poster has something else to hawk; or

b) A huge meltdown involving the deployment of Power Words Free Speach, Nazi Mods and in extreme cases Your Mum, followed by Barbeseppuku or bannination.

But hope springs eternal and all that.

How do these people get memberships, anyway? There are whole threads in Policy about what a pain in the ass it is to join Barbelith, but every couple of months someone pops up, posts twice about their website/book/donkey show and then disappears. It's bizarre.
