Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Moderation policy and philosophy
Sorflakne:
Is it bad that I find great entertainment in people yelling at each other over who should be with who or saying A should be with B because of C?
Not that I condone such activity, but I can't help but laugh when I read it. In the end, it's a story. Whoever's with who has no impact on your life, and the author has the final say in how things work out.

Unless they (accidentally?) leave something open to interpretation. Then there is no final say!
Carl-E:
Or, as is the case in an ongoing comic or other series, the story is incomplete; such a situation begs for speculation!
And that's where the problems arise.

Kidding. I really don't think it's that hard to post about character relationships and the like without being a dirty rotten shipping scoundrel. Some people just make the matter way more complicated than it needs to be. Instead of tensing our shoulders and feeding into this paranoia that every talk of possible relationships is a ticking time bomb, we need to relax and use a little common sense.
EX: Jeph says Marten and Hannelore are not happening. Done. Let's discuss the comic now, okay?

It's also trying to control Jeph's story, which is pretty rude and understandably irritating for the guy. But most importantly, since he's very specifically said he doesn't want it here... asking why is a completely irrelevant question. Maybe he has a good excuse. Maybe he has a bad one. Maybe it's an insane reason that involves turnips, squirrels, and a beret. The reason does not change the fact that we've been told not to do it, and around here, he has the authority to make that rule. So, if you actually respect the guy as a writer, that's what you do.

I need to bring this up, seeing this is relevant: Scott Adams/Dilbert mess.
