Comments on: The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo - Oh, My. http://comicfencing.com/2008/09/12/the-surreal-adventures-of-edgar-allan-poo-oh-my/ Let the reviews do battle!

When I have lumps to take, I take them. I don't expect responses to this and really don't want any - it's something that must be done, and so here I am, doing it - no explanations, no justifying. Just a simple apology. I was made to realize, belatedly, how narrow my view appeared in the posts for this comic, and that although no harm was intended, my way of discussing it left much to be desired in terms of grace and kindness. I apologize, sincerely, if anyone that has read it or DOES read it in the future is offended. "Strong, unflinching words" was the phrase the Moderator used, and rightly so. Sly, I apologize to you as well, for seeming to trample over something so special to you as an artist. Our moderator, friend that he is, took me to task and I'm glad he did. He's an artist too, after all. :) I will do my best to not allow myself to become so adamant again - this isn't the forum for it, and as far as I am concerned it's a moot point. Thanks for reading and, hopefully, for understanding. <em>The Doctor</em> Our Moderator suggested email - I’m not a person who scurries behind the scenes in dark shadows.

If you're going to do it, Talekyn, do it RIGHT! :) I don’t know - I stopped reading Superman when they rebooted him in the 80’s, and definitely never picked it up again after they “killed him” and he came back as a super powered Fabio with long hair :)

Now - THEM’S fighting words. If you’re going to do it, Talekyn, do it RIGHT! :)

I'm <i>not</i> here, hanging around the site. But I get e-mail alerts with new posts. And I read it there. Seems like I only get the first posts, though. No rewrites. So when I come over here to respond...<i>maybe</i> I'll notice that the post has changed. If I'm lucky. If Delos wants to remove my post, that's fine. It's his site. I still stand by it. A person can only handle so much "Hey, this is how I feel" only to hear "those feelings aren't real; it's all mystique, training, faking" before they feel like they have to take a real stand for themselves. The artist protests feelings of repression! Yar! Anyway, it's not meant as a personal attack. Just an uncensored demonstration of my feelings. Which, I dunno, <i>could</i> be a personal attack and I'm just kidding myself. Oh, it’s a lot simpler than that. I’m not here, hanging around the site. But I get e-mail alerts with new posts.
