It seems a certain Amazing writer is breaking his new years resolution of 2011 and hitting the message boards pretty hard again. Amazing Spider-Man writer Dan Slott recently had some interesting quotes over on the CBR board. Read them and feel free to discuss.
“Sorry, sourpuss. It’s not like I bust your nut for things Don’tPeeInTheDeadPool posts, right? Why don’t you PM me when your internet-panties unbunch? “
And then there’s this Wheel of Fortune quote where you can make your own insult up.
“Every time you post, I wonder, “Can he be more of an *** ***?” (sp?)”

100th post!
……..Nevermind than. Well it was good talking with you D.S!
Oh FFS Slott.
Yes I have admitted that I have mentioned “fans to go eff themselves” instead of “told a fan to eff himself once and please remember the context.” God almighty damn, Dan. You’re that bent out of shape on semantics? Seriously? That doesn’t do a Mephisto-wipe on you telling even *one* fan to go eff himself. I give you props for learning from the experience but drop the qualifiers on your behavior. That’s “twisting?” That’s a “falsehood?” They’re not all that damn different, Dan.
You know what? I’m taking back what I said earlier when I said “Hey that’s fair, I’ll stop saying it that way.” The fact you said it once speaks volumes about you.
@BD: Thanks! 😉
@ Dan Slott: Thanks for replying. I’m happy to see that I was not ignored! I’d love to discuss things with you over there but that won’t change things here. As cool as the name sounds, I’m pretty tired of “The Slott Wars” and I know I am not the only one. Dude, Why can’t we have our conversations here??!
I would love for you to return to the Crawl Space. (This would be a GREAT moment for some other people to express the same opinion)
As far as I remember most of us thought it was pretty cool when you held that “I love the Crawl Space” picture up.
Why not give us some more of that kind of action? I’m pretty sure you can turn things around here!
Staying on the optimistic side Mr. Slott, I graded the most recent ASM issue highly as it deserved. Positivity!
A brief addendum: I think I’m going to borrow a quote above for my own signature line: WWSLD (What Would Stan Lee Do).
Words to live by! 🙂
Mr. Slott and Mr. Wacker:
First of all, it’s always good to be able to talk with the creative staff, a definite perk of this our digital age. One of the downsides of course is that we see the raw side as well as the good (which in print usually gets screened by the editors). And there’s the rub. I work in the media and have tremendous respect for the creative talent. I work with a couple of tremendously talented people who, for whatever reason simply do not deal with criticism or negative publicity well at all, and what they say gives an entirely false, genuinely horrid impression of a pair of genuinely nice and talented guys.
I’ve read on Gale Simone’s blog and she is a textbook example of how to gracefully deal with criticism, particularly since she is frequently left with the unenviable task of putting a game face on things when she is one of the writers left holding the bag for the DC reboot and its various problems. Dealing with the public’s an art, and it takes practice and honestly few are as good under pressure as Gail . Here I have to level with you gentlemen: .As a longtime lover of Marvel in general and Spider-Man in particular, your comments and trolling (I’m sorry-there’s no other word for it) are disheartening.
Now, playing devil’s advocate here, I can testify that the admins here have indeed come down hard on people who have trolled or otherwise indulged in personal commentary against you. Me? I’m a fence sitter where you’re concerned. Talk like yours, however, is pushing fence sitters away, and that’s not what you want, of course.
Gail Simone on her blog keeps saying what a lovely guy you are, Dan, and I really want to believe it. I’m just not seeing it. I know you can be better. The problem is, at some point, this stopped being about defending your editor’s decisions and your writing…It became personal, or at least that’s the impression we’re getting. And when you attack fans (and yes, some can be hard to deal with-that’s the price of dealing with the public) you lose the very people you want to win over.
I hold out hope that we can all take a deep breath here, and I have to applaud BD and George for showing more tact than many (myself included) would have shown.
You can do better than this, I know you can.
I love Spider-man as much as you do, and want to enjoy him as much as you do. So please take this from one who is on Spider-Man’s side, one who wants our favorite web head to succeed: The audience (active and potential) is not the enemy: The problem of falling sales is.
Fred, I’ll talk to you all you want.
I’m just not partial to do it at this site.
(For example, just look at how long George (a MOD here) was allowed to twist things and regularly present a falsehood– that I’ve told multiple fans to go eff themselves– when he knew that it was ONE fan in over 20 years– and a fan who had admitted that he instigated the matter. I’m not making this up. It’s something George has copped to on this very thread.)
Swear to God, you’re free to express your earnest opinions and insights all you want if you’re willing to do it without snarkiness, profanity, or taking shots at my co-workers. I think those are reasonable requests.
If you HONESTLY want to do that, you can find me here:

My conspiracy theory is that Marvel tries to (in my opinion) unfairly paint this site as being a terrible place, overtly negative, etc. in an attempt to hammer this impression into people’s minds hoping it will stick only because this site isn’t gushingly positive of everything they do, and if a new reader wants to find out more about Spidey online and googles “Spider-Man websites”, this site comes up third on the list, even before Marvel.com. So by trying to fabricate this impression in people’s minds is their best defense. I say that because I’m sorry, I really don’t understand why the same tired arguments are brought up over and over by Mr Wacker and Slott about this site, as they simply aren’t true. There’s a lot of credit and praise offered for the books when warranted by the gang, you’d think that would be focused on by the creative group, not hanging their hat on every time somebody hasn’t liked the book.
“Keenan, I would LOVE to chill and talk comics with you. I do that with MANY fans over on Twitter, my Formspring page, and CBR.”
In essence Keenan, Dan said no. He would rather bash this site and use it as scapegoat for all his personal problems than actual talk to us with actual opinions and insights.
You’re all heart Dan.
No offense, Brad. But I don’t really want to interact MORE with Crawl Space. Kinda wish I hadn’t wandered in here today as it is– quite the the time-suck here defending myself from this silliness. If you want to make a site that’s more open to discussing positive aspects of what’s going on in the book– all the power to you. I think that’s a great idea.
Since you asked, the name of the program is BlockSite 0.7.1.1 it is an Extension/Add-On for Firefox.
It’s not on my friend’s Mac in England.
My new iPhone uses Safari– and I already searched the App store, and there doesn’t appear to be a BlockSite App for iPhones yet. So I’ll just (finally) have to exhibit some will power. Which, granted, is not my strongest suit. 😛
Look, end of the day, I think you have your little clique here, you’re happy doing things business-as-usual (no biggie, it’s the same with me and mine our end), no one’s budging, and (in all of our own ways) everyone’s happy. I shouldn’t’ve popped in and ruined your shit-stirring session that was letting your cast-of-regulars do their bashing-by-the-numbers. Whatever. Peace be with you, sir.
Look what I found. This made laugh and seemed appropriate on this thread.
Keenan, I would LOVE to chill and talk comics with you. I do that with MANY fans over on Twitter, my Formspring page, and CBR. Honestly, all I ask for is NON-trollish behavior. If you’re not rude, insulting, taking shots at my co-workers, or lacing your posts with angry profanity, we’ll get along great! And you can pick apart the things you don’t like about the book to your heart’s content. We might not agree with each other’s take on the issues, but (hopefully) we’ll have fun discussing it. (For example, one poster I regularly chat with Darthfury78 REALLY wants Spidey to date other super heroes– and I am dead set against that. We go back and forth a lot– and I’m not budging– but it doesn’t mean that the conversation isn’t a hoot.)
Keenan-Great point!
I like your personality BD and I know you love Spider-man, but this article is just picking a fight with Slott and claiming you are only opening a discussion on professionalism. Reading the article posted says nothing about a discussion on professionalism but that Slott can’t stay off the forums and read these posts he made. Trying to turn it into a serious news article about professionalism is silly.
Feel free to ignore my question of what you would like to see on this site? How would you deal with the negative posts?
How would you deal with the negative perceptions of your writing due to your “troll killings.”
Also what’s the name of the Slott block program you use to only see the site in London and on your Iphone?
Mr. Slott, why can’t we just start over? I can’t speak for everyone but I am tired of this crap. This is ridiculous and absolutely pathetic.
People who have never come face to face are practically “sworn enemies” over comics. (UGH!!!)
There was a time when you were an active poster on the Crawl space. I believe, the reason why a lot of people here dislike you is that we felt betrayed by the way you and your creative team backed up One More Day/Brand New Day like it was the best thing that has ever happened to Spider-man. At the time the ENTIRE comic community was trashing that story. Even the fans that swore by Brand new day.
We felt betrayed and lied to by one of the few writers who could be trusted. Dude, you continue to talk trash about our site when you’ve had the same kind of disrespect tossed at you over at CBR. You never told ANY of us to go…uh…”love” ourselves.
Some of us DO treat you with respect so it’s not hard to realize why alot of Crawl spacers tend to misunderstand you. You talk about how negative this website is when we ALL had deep respect for you before this flame war started. I don’t think it’s too late to regain our respect and I would HOPE that it’s not too late for us to regain your respect. Why not make an effort by joining in on a podcast? Maybe do a joke review of your own comic or troll Mark Waid or something? Maybe play some Spider-jeopardy? Why not comment on the articles sometimes when it doesn’t have to do with some controversy? I wish I could go to your formspring account and be friends with you but than I’ll still be clumped in with your casual remarks about how negative this website and it’s members are. It’s really hard to vouch for you when you do that.
Why is it that every time you come here it’s to defend yourself? Why can’t we just chill together and talk comics? There are positive conversations here. I think it’d be pretty interesting to hear your views on DC. What do you watch or read? If we knew more about you as a person, I’m sure a lot of “us” would feel more comfortable with you. Heck, a lot of us are still salty about One More Day but we DEFINITELY do not agree on EVERYTHING. To this very day I still want to fight Thrawn for saying Batman Beyond sucks (and he does so with a passion). But he’s still my boy. :p
I’m probably just wasting my time here but I really hope we all can get to know each other as people. It’s time about time we stopped this.
And I think you’ve proven my point that you’re willing to beat one of this board’s favorite ongoing whipping boys to death, play to the cheap seats– that Steve and Dan are “mean to us.” News at 11. Well done. Can’t wait for the Crawl Space’s NEXT big front page “news” piece: Water is Wet!
Ok I agree with you for once. Yes, I do think you have a tendency to attack trolls with your insult gun. So in that aspect it’s not news. However, with this post I wanted to open discussion on how a professional should act. You have proven my point on what they should not do perfectly.
Dan, you know who I’d like to see again? Spindrifter!
BD,
“Why is it news? You’re a “professional” who can’t handle criticism and reply with the same tone and insults as the trolls that send it your way. It’s not news if an anonymous poster insults you. You’re not a fan boy anymore.”
News is something NEW, right? According to you, this is behavior I exhibit ALL the time. So how is THAT news to you by YOUR standards?
It’s not.
It’s a narrative you like to put forth that play to a negative and vocal element who post here (and some would say MOD here).
It’s playing to the cheap seats. It’s re-enforcing something you already believe. That’s not NEWS. And, to put the SAME spin that YOU use to claim that the Crawl Space is NOT a negative place, you ignore the majority of my POSITIVE online interactions with fans that go on EVERY DAY. Those kinds of stories would run COUNTER to your narrative, be shocking to some of your regulars, and ACTUALLY be something new here– and therefore newsworthy.
But I don’t think that’s what your “news” here today was about, was it?
Well it seems everyone has dug in for the long-haul…
@Dan Slott- Why continue “this” Mr. Slott? Why? You could have walked away at anytime.
@BD- Why you too?
“This” is pointless. “This” will change nothing. “This” is just embarrassing. “This” will only end with you acting as a fool.
End “this”.
~Lament~
Bertone says:
“Well we did post about your Model revelation last week…”
Okay, THAT’S interesting. I’ll have to look that up. Like I’ve said, outside of an odd peak here or there (like visiting my friend in London and using his computer, which didn’t have this site locked out– or another friend forwarding me an occasional INSANE screen grab of some more of the crazier can’t-believe-they-said-that-piece-of-utter-BS-with-a-straight-face kinda stuff that’s been posted here), I really haven’t looked around the Crawl Space that much since I’ve left. So a POSITIVE thread on the front page would be something eye-opening to look at.
Shits and giggles, Brad.
Spin it around.
I have hundreds of positive interactions with fans EVERY week.
None of those were “news worthy” to you.
Out of all the positive responses on formspring, instagram, twitter, etc…
…why focus on 1 post from today and 1 post from weeks ago OTHER than to play to the cheap seats?
Isn’t that shit-stirring and a bias on your part?
But thank you for at least framing it that I take shots at “trolls” (instead, as some here have put it, “critics”).
‘Cause I’ll agree with you on THAT count. If someone’s being particularly trollish (rude and snarky), I will take a shot at ’em.
And if someone is critiquing the book, pointing out what they don’t like and why– and saying it WITHOUT the snark, I will engage in a conversation with them.
“With all the hundreds of POSITIVE formspring answers I’ve put up– with GENUINE news about upcoming developments for Spidey…”
Well we did post about your Model revelation last week..
And Slott has replied again.
Ok, I just discovered your two quotes last night. That’s why I put it up on Sunday morning.
Why is it news? You’re a “professional” who can’t handle criticism and reply with the same tone and insults as the trolls that send it your way. It’s not news if an anonymous poster insults you. You’re not a fan boy anymore. You have moved on up like George and Weezie and are writing the flagship title of Marvel Comics. You should act a bit differently than little Danny Slott that was reading Spidey Super Stories.
I put up Spider-related news all the time. The good and the bad news related to the character. This news item was one of the bad which makes you and Marvel look bad. After 74 comments I’d say it has caused a debate about the behavior of professionals online which was my intention.
I know you don’t apologize for the insults to those posts. I don’t apologize for being the messenger to let people know what you said.
Was the whole reason for posting comments from Slott in a forum just an attempt to get Slott and Wacker back on the site or an attempt at hits? It worked for both I guess.
Wow, I just posted and Slott has already posted again.
Ok, first off your memory is a bit hazy. I did send you a pm years ago and told you to write me if you think someone personally insulted or attacked you. I would then review it and issue a ban or warning. At no point have I ever told you it wasn’t my job to police the boards.
As far as CBR goes, yes you do have folks that personally attack you and insult you. Those are the folks that I think you should ignore. However, I don’t see you going to other sites saying, “OH that Spider-Man CBR board sure is a hive of negativity and double standards.”
Here’s a question for you for shits and grins. What would you like from the Crawlspace? What would make it a Spider-site you’d like? Should I eliminate the three warnings and you’re banned rule? Should I ban everyone that personally insults you? Should I scour the internet to see if any poster has said something negative and see if they’re a member here and then ban them?
Jack Brooks,
This “article” (or rather “News” piece that BD’s run here) is VERY indicative of the Crawl Space.
A post from today. One from weeks ago. Taken out of context and spun in a very Crawl Space-y way. Hard hitting “journalism” there.
The Lament Beast said:
“You people make me smile. It’s so silly to keep “this” going anymore. Walk away. Everyone just walk away. There will be no winner here. Only fools.”
And Enigma chimed in and said:
“I have to agree. Just drop it.”
Maybe a GOOD question is– WHY was it picked up in the first place?
Why did BD think that ONE internet post from today and ONE from WEEKS ago, taken out of context, was so “News” worthy?
From what he’s posted in this thread, Brad obviously goes to my formspring page.
Others here follow me on Twitter.
With all the hundreds of POSITIVE formspring answers I’ve put up– with GENUINE news about upcoming developments for Spidey…
All of the dozens of recent Spider-Man merchandise photos I’ve been putting up on Instagram…
All of the tons of NEW Spider-Man related tweets that have gone up in the past few days from me…
Heck, even the SUBJECT of the CBR message board he was lifting that ONE post from– Axel teasing a MAJOR change for Spider-Man coming up this year…
…to Brad Douglas NONE of that was front page NEWS WORTHY.
But you know what was?
One post I made today. Another weeks ago. Both at posters who made rude comments. Both taken out of context. And both of those were turned into FRONT PAGE CRAWL SPACE NEWS for NO other reason than that they PLAYED TO THE CHEAP SEATS and feed into the narrative that the most NEGATIVE elements here like to play up.
Jack Brooks, I NEVER said (your words) that Crawl Space was run by “vampire Nazis.” I think it’s run by fans who weren’t happy with the status quo change from the end of 2007, and who get good buzz from a vocal section of their message board whenever they “stir the shit.” And I think that’s a pretty fair accounting of the motives for putting up this “News” story today and for the reactions this thread has received.
Been away from the computer a few hours. I come back to find Wacker has called me a bully and a crank.The latter was on an IP I banned.
Slott has accused me promoting negativity by quoting him and sharing it with others.
Here’s where we disagree. I think you should act like a professional. Here’s the dictionary definition in case you forgot.
Definition of PROFESSIONAL
1
a : of, relating to, or characteristic of a profession
b : engaged in one of the learned professions
c (1) : characterized by or conforming to the technical or ethical standards of a profession (2) : exhibiting a courteous, conscientious, and generally businesslike manner in the workplace
2
a : participating for gain or livelihood in an activity or field of endeavor often engaged in by amateurs
b : having a particular profession as a permanent career
c : engaged in by persons receiving financial return
3
: following a line of conduct as though it were a profession
As the writer of the Amazing Spider-Man title you represent Marvel freelance or not. Telling people off is not professional. A professional ignores it and moves on. You seem to enjoy wallowing in the mud of the trolls.
I’m sure you disagree on this fact and that’s fine. But I think engaging the trolls just encourages people to dislike you, and in turn dislike and not support your work. Again, you probably don’t see that logic, but I do. As someone who has bought Spider-Man for the past 30 years, created a website to share the love it’d turns me off.
As far as insulting this site. I’ve seen several of your posts where you back handed insulted us.
You are not a mod, so you don’t get to see the dozens of people that get banned for their comments that are personally insulting. Unlike CBR I don’t delete their comments. I leave them up and then let the others know that they got a warning. But I think your experience with this website is going to the search bar and typing in your name. I’m sure you don’t see positive things due to behavior like they’ve seen in this post and some on CBR.
I said this several years and it holds true. I would love for the head Spider-Man writer to come here,talk to the fans in a civil tone and share in the love of Spider-Man. Instead you hone in on any criticism and blow it up. I had such excitement when you first posted on the message board sharing your first Spider issue. Then on the podcast you answered dozens of questions from the fans. Now all you do is complain about this site and insult any troll with a pulse on the internet.
George, that’s NOT true.
I would get private messages from BD saying that anytime I saw offensive or uncalled for comments, I should have taken the matter to him privately instead of calling it out on the boards. And when I’d tell him that he and/or the mods shouldn’t have caught those comments and/or not left them up for so long, the standard comment I’d get back was, “it wasn’t his job to police the boards.”
And your comment about holding Steve and I to the same level is absurd, here on the Crawl Space we were often told that our comments had to be scrutinized MORE because they held more weight as “professionals”.
And I LOVE how many times I’ve seen CBR held up as some kind of Pro-Marvel board. That’s a nice narrative you try to keep up. Go on CBR and look at how many posters are regularly slamming, criticizing, and (yes) negatively critiquing the books. I’m sure from YOUR biased perspective it appears to be Pro-Marvel, but from your track record– and those of the people who regularly agree with you– it would appear that way.
This habit you’ve shown (and admit to) of twisting something I did ONE time in 20 years to one VERY rude fan– and misrepresenting it as something I do regularly to fans of every stripe– is very indicative of what I see to be your approach to how you both mod & post.
Dan… go to SHHype… there’s a PM there for ya… got some serious questions…. thanks.
TMoB
Dan Slott, the article is about you, quoting you. Crawlspace could be run by vampire Nazis, and it’s still about you.
“I’d get the standard, “We can’t police the boards” comment.”
That’s not true. The moderators and admins here have never said that, aside from the fact that we can’t police what our members/visitors say on other sites, which is correct. When you posted here people *did* get warned/banned for personally attacking you. Vice versa, as well. We’d like for you and Steve (who we had to ban awhile back for being insulting) to be able to come and post here but we’ll hold comic writers & artists to the same level we hold other message board members. We’re not CBR.
Yes, let’s talk positive.
DAN> Since you’re here, and you’ve got the site unblocked… go back and read Bertone’s Betty Brant essays. They are awesome, and I think they’ll amuse you. I think even Wacker said they were hilarious.
I’m sorry, Enigma, I can’t comment on how things have been here for the past year or so, but when I WAS posting here, I would see some pretty outlandish stuff that’d be up on the boards for days. And if I didn’t comment on it, it’d just sit there. And if I did comment on it, people would pile on, and eventually a mod would take it down. When I’d make a fuss about how long it’d take, I’d get the standard, “We can’t police the boards” comment. And if anyone commented on how the unfair negative comments stayed up longer, Brad would say that “discussing whether or not the board had a negative bias” was NOT allowed. It seemed very much a double standard. But if that’s changed in the time that I’ve been away, all the power to the mods then. And good on them.
“or pretty bad behavior that mods turn a blind eye to.”
Sorry, Dan. I’m calling bull**** on this one. Maybe they take a bit to address the situation when something comes up, but that usually is a result of them having jobs/lives that prevent them from sitting in front of the computer all day. If you step out of line here, you ARE dealt with. I lost a good friend and fellow poster that way, but unfortunately, he brought it on himself.
Dear internet person called “Fred,” I’m amazed at what a broad group you’re calling “critics” and things you’re labeling “criticism.” I think for people with a more open mind than I’ve seen at the virtual “Anti-OMD” frat house, I’ve proven time and time again on OTHER boards that I can take and discuss actual CONSTRUCTIVE criticism well– especially when it’s NOT laced with personal attacks and/or profanity. And, to paraphrase you, do you really think I actually care about “Fred’s” opinion on how a professional should comport themselves?
As far as Rick goes, yes, he IS a big boy. And there have been times where I’ve seen him stand up in my defense when people were taking cheap shots. That’s what professionals do too.
I don’t think I “scapegoat” this site. I think there have been SOME elements on these boards that have been pretty ugly, insulting, slanderous, vulgar, and OVERALL taken online negativity to new lows (or highs, if that’s how you choose to see it). I don’t think Crawl Space is some kind of “root of all evil” or anything. And I DO think there are people here who post POSITIVE things– as well as things which ARE critical but put forth in a clear/educated/well thought out/polite way. Doesn’t mean that there AREN’T some pretty bad apples here– or pretty bad behavior that mods turn a blind eye to. Culling the worst of the worst DOESN’T mean that the remainder are angels. It would be nice if some of the more negative elements here took some of that “responsibility” for the cheap shots, misinformation, and personal attacks that they’ve made. After all, you claim taking that kind of “responsibility” is important to you. Shouldn’t that cut both ways?
I have to agree. Just drop it.
You people make me smile. It’s so silly to keep “this” going anymore. Walk away. Everyone just walk away. There will be no winner here. Only fools.
~Lament~
“You’ve completely changed my mind on the whole subject.”
Do you really think i actually care about changing your mind on anything? You have proven time and time again by your own actions that you are unable to take criticism and is unable to control your own temper. Rick Remender is a big boy, so he can take care of himself if he wanted to, so stop trying to bring him and every creator who gets angry feedback to make excuses for the abusive and unprofessional way you talk to people. Stop trying to scapegoat this site for what ever problems you might be having on the internet and take some responsibility for your own actions.
Its what real professionals do.
I’m not sure what formats “The Twelve” will be reprinted in. But between the new TPB, the “Must Haves”, and the issues that are coming out– it should be really easy for everyone to get caught up. And it IS going to be a really great ride to the end. If you’re a JMS fan, this is one NOT to be missed!
@#54 Got mine reserved, also waiting for announcements for a new TPB. Hopefully it will be a complete 1-12 instead of a vol. 2 with 9-12.
Yes. Personal attacks, slanders, lies, misinformation about people I’m working with and things we’re working on are “excuses.”
Genius.
Thank you “Fred” for being brave enough to point that out to me. You’ve completely changed my mind on the whole subject. Next time someone takes unwarranted potshots at fellow creators like Rick Remender, or repeatedly & intentionally makes it sound like an insult I said to one fan, one time in 20 years (something that fan admitted that HE instigated) is something I habitually do– I’ll roll over and take it. Thanks, “Fred.” Good advice.
“I thought Steve Wacker said he learned his lesson after JMS banned him on FB? Guess not.”
We are talking about Steve Wacker right? The same man who goes out of his way to create fake IP addresses to start fights with the people here and insults the mods, then plays the victim act when people call him out on his behavior.
“Mr. Slott makes excuses for immature and abusive posts, when he shouldn’t write them at all.”
That’s Dan for you. Why expect anything less?
lol. Who’s the guy peering creepily over Slott’s shoulder in that pic?
Wow. I missed the part where JMS had the power to ban people from all of Facebook. Good for him. I hope he uses that power wisely. 🙂
That said, everyone should reserve their copies to the finale of “The Twelve”– it’s finished, it’s coming out, and it’s gonna be great!
I thought Steve Wacker said he learned his lesson after JMS banned him on FB? Guess not.
My two cents are:
It was Brad/ CS that removed a longtime reviewer who had become too disparaging and profane — IOW, for writing reviews the way Slott writes critics! So CS has been self-consistent.
You can see that Anti-crawlspacers make a policy of carefully ignoring all the medium-to-positive issue reviews, and pretend that this is the negative site (as opposed to CBR being the fawning site).
Mr. Slott makes excuses for immature and abusive posts, when he shouldn’t write them at all. You want to frustrate Brad? Stop doing the behavior.
And by the way, I lay claim to the phrase: “low-level telepathy”.
@#45
What’d I tell you, Dan. As predictable as the weather… unless this is the kid from the Netherlands again. IP CHECK!!!!
