Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
In appreciation for Jeph's work
Superkid11:
Extreme? He just posted a row of freaky images in a thread.
Extreme would've been spamming the shit out of every thread with those. With more gore. Then shutting down the board entirely.
Extreme was the amount of stupid in that comic talk.
Extreme is the rage I would have felt in his shoes.
MillionDollar Belt Sander:
To the Original Poster:
Extreme is going to be his response to this.
The man puts his heart and soul into this comic, these characters are as much a part of his daily life as his wife and family.
He more or less just ended a major story arc on a rather sad note... then comes in here and finds people behaving like absolute morons. WORSE that that actually.
I would have closed down the forum and posted a gigantic middle finger for everyone.... but that's just me.
Anyway I'd get your sorry ass back in here and edit your comments before he bans you from the fucking UNIVERSE.
zagraf:
Why, whatever do you mean? I'm merely concerned for the man's health, is all.
Carl-E:
Really!
C'mon guys, someone misinterprets something, tries to be helpful, and people jump on him like he's at fault?
Jeph didn't shut down the WCDT anyway. And the thread he created to blow off steam in was pretty harmless. He was lurking in the chaos, somehing we all suspect (or hope) he does, and I imagine he was stunned by the vitriol that was flowing so freely.
But hey, whose idea was it to fix the notification bot on the week of hella drama? It could've waited! :roll:
And some of the n0obs had some decent insights. Not many, but I don't think many were intentional trolls, either. A few goblins (like trolls, only smaller and not as smart), but I think the real problem was the sheer volume.
Now that the WCDT's been shattered into a few dozen smaller threads, dissipating all the heat, we'll see who decides to stay.
Where's that "welcome wagon" basket of mine?

I'm not about to dispute the presence of a high number of morons in the Weekly Comic Thread, but I've never quite understood why this is something that bothers Jeph (and, apparently, you) to the degree that it does. It's not his job to make people interpret his comic correctly. Shutting down a discussion thread due to its going in a direction you don't approve of strikes me as roughly similar to an author showing up at a book club meeting and saying, "You're interpreting my book ALL WRONG! This meeting is over - everyone out!"
