I just came up with this great idea: why not have a letters page in 2000AD? You could call it "Input" or something, in line with the whole idea of 2000AD being a "prog" or "program".
What do other readers think of this innovative idea?
I don't like sarcasm.
I always had you down as a self hater
Pff. And you go on about the yanks not getting irony.
Bloody student.
Pff indeed, trust a bear to be so stupid that if i was a patronisingt bastard the above sentence would clearly have a ;) at the end - Instead i chose not to, not wanting to insult your intelligence (rather preffering to insinuate that you're a wanker)- but clearly I should have done the former*
*;)- you missible Ursine
miserable
but Prof you dont like ANYTHING/ONE so whats your point?
:)
Didn't you once write a letter to Tharg bemoaning the amount of silly rubbish and cliquism on the messageboard?
Hey FAC! Another FACing great idea. To back it up why not have a bit at the front that's written by an Alien Editor, you could call him Farg and he could come from Centauri or something such like, you could even have a 3 panel humourous strip about androids working on the comic, call it An Droids Life etc.
great idea keep 'em coming brianiac!
:-)
i do believe Mr fate wrote a letter to said alien once be-moaning the fact that some thicko silly wumman who is prone to off topic emotional outbursts which spam up & lower the tone of the entire internet, has a bad attitude towards some work of certain hallowed droids & yet is incapable of expressing her hormone addled critisms in words of more than one syllable.
upon reading said letter, said butch bitter man hating intellectually lazy attention whoring woman did giggle & utter that it verily Rocked, or sucked, or something.
she wished Tharg would marry her so she could furnish his table with a whiter than white cloth.
Actually Art, that particular letter was heavily edited, and managed to have me saying "the message board is scary" when what I actually said was that "there were people discussing the envelope that their submission came in and that was a bit scary".
Having spent some more time here, I then wrote another letter which sort of big-upped the board, as I'd started to enjoy myself here and found most of the boarders very friendly. It was never printed.
For clarification, I find this message board one of the sanest I've ever frequented, with flamingness pretty rare and trollishness generally gracefully ignored. Having said that, you do seem to be somewhat in the habit of following me around and poking me in the ribs: which is fine if it keeps you happy.
Wasn't your last accusation that I should apologise for something I hadn't done? An accusation you've singularly failed to apologise for. How ironic.
Damn it, Bou, I was hoping you'd forgotten about that.
It was a previous me, I tell you: nothing to do with current me.
ha ha fate, the envelopes were me too ! Bt cummon blue electric lights emenating from envelopes is pretty exciting...isnt it ?
tho you'll never catch me on about chain links or lawmaster specs, cos i'm afraid i'm blissfully unaware of techy details.
i NEVER forget, especially things like being called attention whore...oh noooooo. Opinions or random whittering bollocks are one thing, insults are another.
however Mr Fate, i officially forgive you as you did have a perfectly valid point. which rocks.... or sucks.
"Wasn't your last accusation that I should apologise for something I hadn't done?"
You've never appologised to me for suggesting that I was some kind of nutty racialist.
I still cry myself to sleep every night over that one.
I should change the title of this thread to "half-arsed apologies from Fate", but anyway:
- Yes, blue electric lights emenating from envelopes is exciting. Kind of like off-colour Tommyknockers, or something.
- Who called you an attention whore? (That's just rude.)
Byron, you peddler of A5 comics, you! As I recall, I only asked if it was racist, rather than saying that it was definitely so. Still, my tone was rather accusatory, and once I realised I was barking up the wrong tree, I tried my best to make light of it (or wheedle out of it, depending on your outlook). For the record, I'm as sorry for any offence I caused you personally as you are for any offence you might inadvertantly cause anyone else. I'm assuming here that you wouldn't be too shocked if the title "Japs must die!" would cause someone to do a double-take?
I've got A4 comics too! All I need is to make an A3 comic and I'm sorted.
"I'm assuming here that you wouldn't be too shocked if the title "Japs must die!" would cause someone to do a double-take?"
Hey, you're just saying what we're all thinking.
"For the record, I'm as sorry for any offence I caused you personally"
That won't get me back those bitter tears that I spilt upon my pillow though, will it?
I demand a public act of contrition (possibly by buying some of my stuff and the loudly proclaiming how great they are)!
> That won't get me back those bitter tears that I spilt upon my pillow though, will it?
A Sea Demon's got to make a living somehow.
I have been pandering a photograph of Scotemada chucking Pony School into a bin: there's no such thing as bad publicity!
Ahem. I seem to remember suggesting you should either apologise, or not apologise, but not do the weird half arsed "it's not my fault" poncing around that you were doing.
You know, claiming it was someone elses fault, you were edited badly, that sort of thing...
"I have been pandering a photograph of Scotemada chucking Pony School into a bin: there's no such thing as bad publicity!"
Yes, it's always pleasing to see photographic evidence of someone throwing away all your hard work in wanton contravention of local council by-laws as regards recycling.
Shine on, you crazy diamond!
Art: in the case in point, I hadn't done anything to apologise for, as I previously explained. I still feel vindicated in requesting that thread be removed, as I said, in order to contain any more bad feeling or potential legal ramifications for the participants. I think it was the right thing to do, and I was careful not to name any names, so your claim that I blame things on other people is an empty one. You've also yet to explain what it is exactly you think I should apologise for: which doesn't surprise me, as you have no logical basis for such a demand.
That you continue to decry me with base insults only goes to show that your issue with me is of a personal nature, as evinced by your tailing me around a message board and chucking barbed comments at me when the opportunity presents itself. If you have a problem with me beyond personal animosity, spell it out or be on your way. I'm sure we can happily co-exist without the need to directly correspond further. I sincerely hope so.
Yeah, that kind of dancing around.
Well... you are f*cking annoying. Will that do?
:)
For the record, I'm not sorry for anything I've ever done to anybody.
You all deserve worse in my opinion.
Hanging's too good for the lot of you.
