: I was just wondering , after reading what I consider to be some pretty nasty posts on
: YOUR board, do you ever get angry at some of these people?
Nah. Message board flames have to be taken in a different context than insults hurled in
person. It's easy to bitchslap a dude from the comfort of your (parent's) basement; given
that, I tend to take board attacks with a grain of salt (the compliments I take with a pound of
salt). It's much more difficult to hurl a verbal insult at someone who's looking right at you
than it is to splooge anonymously in cyber-space. So if someone was to get up and tell me
the things they feel secure enough to write here, I'd lend their thoughts more credence.
It's kinda cute how bold folks'll get when they know there are no repercussions to their
slams. However, you take that same person and stand them in front of me, they wouldn't be
nearly as cavalier. In fact, they'd say nothing.
: They sure make me mad.
Let it drift. I do. I've got my health, my wife, my kid, my career, my home, my friends, my
family, and a fan-base. If folks wanna piss into the wind, why should I feel bad when it
blows back in their face?
: Are you almost back in your house?
I'm back in my house (though not tonight; tonight I'm still in Texas).
: I remember you saying that would be somewhere around Christmas.
We've been in for about three weeks now. House looks better than it did prior to the flood.
:Oh and that was one outrageous Roadsides Attractions
Thanks. We continue to push that "Tonight Show" envelope... or so I'm told.
: Thank you Kevin for making us laugh and think.
Thanks for giving me the opportunity.
: Oh and I love the comics...never stop doing that.
I won't... so long as I can take months (even years) off between issues.
