Joe, thank you for subjecting yourself to the hits. It is appreciated that you are doing this, and I'm the guy who jumped on you for being offended at fans who are rude when several at Marvel treat fans as being beneath them. Steve Wacker used to pick fights with people and then get them banned all the time if they dared to fight back. The other names I listed have had several encounters where they were rude. Never to me, but it cost Marvel my $150 a month. I refuse to support that culture.

Hey, I completely appreciate you coming back and explaining your point of view and your choice not to spend your money on our product. I’m totally with you, if I don’t feel like supporting a company for whatever reason I vote with my feet and walk away. But, in our defense, let me just say that you might be getting led astray by internet chatter and rumor and having other’s “experiences” and “agendas” effect your own. But then again, I could be wrong.

Wait, what? The Internet spreading information that may not be true? But don’t worry it happens to all of us… I honestly thought there was a pig brothel in Missouri, color me gullible.

Here’s the thing, there are certainly things we are guilty of from time to time, no one’s perfect, but this isn’t one of them. I know Steve Wacker, I know the type of guy he is and he’s one of my dearest friends (despite his terrible singing voice). Steve has always been great with the fans in person and online. He also jokes and gets cheeky (he’s a very funny dude) but never insulting or derogatory despite some of the attacks he has to endure. And he has never had anyone banned despite what anyone says. Now this may not preclude whatever website Steve may be posting on from banning someone for something they’ve done or said on that site, but that has nothing to do with Steve just as Tumblr banning someone (does Tumblr ban people?) or any other place I may post have anything to do with me.

Mark Miller is someone you also have issues with. Mark is another dear friend. I’ve seen Mark at conventions, I’ve seen him have drink ups at local pubs with fans. Ironically I found this posted on Tom Brevoort’s Tumblr today. It’s a fan’s take on Mark.

Look, I’m not here to tell you how to spend your money, all I want to say is that there are two sides to every argument and maybe if you haven’t experienced it yourself, maybe what you’re hearing isn’t necessarily always the truth.

Except for Bendis, that guys a dick ;^)
