--- Quote from: Odin on 16 Dec 2010, 08:52 ---What about the argument that Marten's behavior while drunk is indicative of some pretty deep running issues he needs to get sorted out (and the whole Nice Guy sub-argument here and in the characterization thread)?
--- End quote ---
Dammit, Odin, you're such a one-note monkey!
Look, you keep saying "read your other posts", so I did. Several of them. Many are filled with calling other forumites morons or trolls, most have specious arguments gleaned from what must be a scanning of the archive, since you seem to have no grasp of a lot of the details of the story. People who point out your fallacies are ignored, and ... well, I'm getting tired of it, really.
Just ignoring the preponderance of the evidence and running around screaming "Marten's a spineless NiceGuyTM" does NOT make it true.

You obviously haven't been reading my other posts like you claim (this one is from this very thread):
--- Quote from: Odin on 13 Dec 2010, 12:14 ---Whether Marten is still a Nice Guy or not remains to be seen, but at the very beginning of this comic he pretty much was. Jeph may have redefined him recently, but we haven't actually seen it outside of his interactions with Hannelore and other people he has no romantic interest in.
--- End quote ---
That was a pre-1818 comic comment.
--- Quote ---Now go back, and really read the damn comics. I know it may be a challenge, but I think you'll find it's worth it. You also might want to try listening to other people. You don't have to agree with them, but if you actually listen to what they say, you may be able to refute them without simply calling them names.
Or you can go get a job at Fox news.
Either way, it should keep you busy for a while.

I've already read them, thank you. You may want to take your own advice and go back to the very beginning of the comic, read the first, oh, 500 strips or so and then come back and seriously post that Marten did not start off in the comic as the stereotypical Nice Guy. Tuesday's comic just showed it all still brewing there under the surface (with the bitter side of the Nice Guy unleashed by copious amounts of alcohol!).
I think Marten realizes that kind of thinking is unhealthy, but is suppressing it rather than trying to deal with it, which is why he acted the way he did when he got shitfaced.
As for calling other people on here morons, I already said in the conduct thread that I'd cut back on that, so unless you've got examples of me doing that since then bringing it up again isn't gaining you anything (never mind the borderline slur in your opening remark, pot/kettle, etc.).

--- Quote from: Mr_Rose on 16 Dec 2010, 05:43 ---OK, look, I dunno how many of you guys have ever actually hung out with owls before, but I'm telling you now: Owls are stupid. Dumb as a sack of rocks covered in feathers. Really. They didn't get all that stealth shit by thinking about it, and now they have it, they have even less of a reason to try too hard.
I've seen one fall off its perch (the same one it'd been using for a year or so) because it took one foot off to adjust its position and missed when putting it back down. They also have the most amazing knack for getting "stuck" in places they walked into (and complaining about it loudly) because despite being able to turn their heads around almost 180° they have no idea how to walk backwards.
I can totally see a slightly confused owl mistaking Marten for a small rodent and having a go.

This post just gave me the weirdest sense of deja-vu...
Sigh...
When I have dreams that end up coming true. I wonder why it's always mundane stuff like this?

--- End quote ---
I fail to see the joke you are referring too.

I dunno, when the author himself explains it as 'stupid shit' born from nothing but alcohol and writes off the idea that it's indicative of any feelings he harbors deep down, I'd defer to him.
Also, have I gone mad or was that Wednesday's comic? With finals this week, I've completely lost track.
