Including those sheets with my send-outs was about the only way, to get reactions at all. Most DJs get between 100 and 200 records a week and they have to REALLY like your stuff to contact you about it.

(Oh, and your comment was held in my moderation queue, I only saw it later.)

That’s cool then, Guy. Guess we’ll have to agree to disagree at this point. And while i still don’t fully understand your feeling mixed emotions, I respect you to let it end with that, if it’s how you feel.

And yes, while you have commented here before, in this instance it does feel like you’re hammering Johanna with something resembling a vengeance.

Well, like with Erech, I’m sorry if you feel that way, but that wasn’t what I was out for. Guess it might just be another “agree to disagree” point.

But I do thank you for civil discourse in this discussion. I know that may not sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve come to not expect from most. It’s good to know that there are still people who don’t see a disagreement in views, as just cause for public ridicule and humiliation of the one they disagree with. You are a class act.

You’ve made it clear that you don’t care for Johanna and you’ve presented your reasons in a relatively rational manner, I simply disagree with your opinion. Like Erech, I think you’re wrong in thinking that she has no joy for the hobby or the industry. She doesn’t suffer perceived fools lightly, perhaps, but I have seen many examples of her expressing joy about particular work and creators on a regular basis.

And yes, while you have commented here before, in this instance it does feel like you’re hammering Johanna with something resembling a vengeance.

I can’t believe I am arguing about an obvious throwaway joke on here. Holy jebus. Ban me from the comments Guy, do it!!!!!!!!!!

How’s that old adage go…? Any joke you have to explain…

Um, not really. I made my original point/comment. Guy them replied back and asked me some questions in it. I then replied back to him, out of courtesy and to (hopefully) better explain my original post. I’m pretty much done with this now, unless Guy has some burning desire to talk about this further with me. And if he does, let me ask now that he email me and we can discuss it as long as he’d like.

Why do you care if Guy goes further into detail about the selling of the swag?

Because I didn’t (and still don’t, to some degree) understand why he had mized feelings over something that was so obvuiously, at least, in bad taste (at most, outright wrong). I wanted to get more insight into why he felt these mixed emotions. The only way to do that, would be to ask him to talk about it more. If he doesn’t want to, that’s fine. I wasn’t demanding anything, merely making a request. One Guy is perfectly free to deny.

I could be TOTALLY MISTAKEN but it just seems as if you are trying to either stir something up, or there is some kind of e-vendetta waged against Johanna.

Well, happily you are correct. You are totally mistaken. E-vendettas are pretty pointless. Any vendettas I have, I make sure to handle up close and personal. So, if I have one with Johanna, it’s not on the web it will be handled, but right to her face, if the oppertunity ever comes. That’s just how I roll.

So yes, in the overall, grand human lifetime of things, you may have me on the definition of constant. But in the actual, the usage here - that in 2 of the 3 posts I’ve ever witnessed from you on this site (and ever), you’ve voiced how much you dislike her - so it’s just as valid a definition.

The key there is “that you’ve ever witnessed.” I’ve posted on here in the past and about things that had nothing to do with Johanna. Guy can probably even back me up on that. I’ll grant you I don’t post here OFTEN or REGULARLY, but I don’t do that at ANY blogs nowadays.

I make no secret or denial about my disdain of Johanna, or her type of blogger in general. But that isn’t what this was all about. I saw Guy go into great detail about the creator’s role in this farce, but very little said about her’s. I just wanted to get a fuller picture of Guy’s thoughts on this, since my own seem pretty clear to me that both parties were wrong and should equally share the blame in this stupidity, as well as the harsh light of the public spectacle from engaing in it to begin with.

If you equate that with “stirring something up”, well, that’s up to you. Judge me however you will.

And just as constant, in THIS comment thread, is the 2 posts here that I’ve seen from you, trying to drag the issue on. Why do you care if Guy goes further into detail about the selling of the swag? I could be TOTALLY MISTAKEN but it just seems as if you are trying to either stir something up, or there is some kind of e-vendetta waged against Johanna.

I think my problem with the joke and why it doesn’t work, is due to the use of “constant”.

See, I’ve made two posts talking about this. Hardly constant. She, OTOH, has a blog she writes in, multiple times, daily. That much more fits a constant pattern.

And the “life’s too short” thing can apply to just about any hobby or pasttime. It’s not limited to comics or blogging (although, that is what the discussion here has been about).

I still don’t think your joke works, but hey, whatever. If it amused you, at least you are taking joy in something.

Gotcha.

I don’t get the joke. I mean, i know WHAT you were going for, just not sure how you got there. I mean, I don’t blog.

And if it was merely my comments here which you were trying to compare me with, well, it’s kind of hard to have a discussion without stating your feelings.

I stand by what I said. She has no joy for this hobby and industry. I, however, do. Hardly a “pot meet kettle” situation.
