--- Quote from: Boomslang on 16 Dec 2010, 02:06 ---Apparently, I should just stop posting anything that might be controversial, because I think I accidentally hit all the points Jeph would prefer I not talk about.
Combined with the fact that I, according to several people, can't convey any position other than an extreme (and extremely stupid one) even when that's really not what I meant, I'm just going to apologize to everyone, especially you, Jeph, and police what I post more thoroughly.

Boomslang, just reread your posts before hitting "send". Read it like you're a disinterested third party. Read it like a business e-mail, and you'll catch most of what can be taken the wrong way, not to mention the spelling mistakes...
Oh, nevermind, the spelling thing is me, not you!

Now let's see if Marten can be a Smart Boy and not press the issue!
Good to see (albeit not surprising) that Faye took the rational approach to the situation - Marten's behavior was out of character and prompted by emotional trauma, so he gets a pass. She won't bring it up, Marten can't bring it up, so everyone can just move the hell on.
Looking forward to seeing Marty's first day of constructively dealing with the breakup!
pwhodges:
It is probably impossible to avoid a forum such as this having a certain amount of over-analysis going on. It would in general be helpful if people would read enough of what's already been written to avoid simply repeating the same arguments, possibly already answered, which have been put before. And think three times before posting yourself.
The point about sexual harassment is slightly more complex, as some of us are in countries where, in some circumstances, and with people being sufficiently vindictive, Marten's behaviour could have been enough possibly to take him to court. Jeph may not be so aware of that (I'm guessing), and so sees that discussion as stupid, when there's actually a basis for it for some people.
jeph:
Some of it is certainly that I had to obsessively reread the first 300 strips while putting together the first book. But a lot of it is just that I remember lots of the weird little details from the archives, even if I don't remember what specific strip they're from. It's the same way I can do 1800 comics without repeating a joke* (as far as I know)- I just remember whether I've done a gag before.
(the owl reference was a totally accidental callback)
*having said this, I am now guaranteed to plagiarize myself by accident sometime in the next year. Fuck.
