- Henderson. DEFENDER OF THE ANTI-FANBOY!!!!

- One central point here, John. I agree that you overstate your
- opinions and therefore invite flames, and, believe it or not, I
- actually think there is SOME truth to what you say (albeit a grain of
- truth, not the whole shabang), but there's just one strange
- thing about your arguments.

- If these comics are such shit, then WHY DO YOU READ THEM? WHY DO YOU
- BOTHER TO BECOME SO PASSIONATE ABOUT SHIT THAT YOU WANT TO POST?
- Sorry, it just struck me as strange. Most people here seem to enjoy
- the medium and enjoy talking about its strengths and flaws. You seem
- to want to condemn the medium altogether as hack-work. This is true
- in some cases, but certainly not in ALL.
