You're A Good Man, Marten Reed
Coffee_Kaioken:
Look, obviously QC is not a replica of Peanuts. I do personally think it's fun to compare the two. It's obvious premise that there will be as many differences as similarities. DSL is being apologetic but I honestly don't think s/he was entirely off base to get a little offended by LJA's post - I'm not irritated with LJA's point so much as I am irritated with the tone. I don't like to have to reference a dictionary several times in order to understand someone's post. It's a COMIC. I'm not going to pour fancy language or high-class intellectual thought into my posts, and when someone comes along using that combined with negatives to talk about how Peanuts lacks all these amazing things that QC has, that's going to set off irritation. I quite frankly don't care what it says about me.

... please tell me I'm not the only person who 100% disagrees with this. If people see DSL's posts as the dismissive ones over LJA's, that's a serious problem in my eyes.
Tova:
None of the replies I really want to make will win me friends with the mods, so I'm done here.
pwhodges:
Folks, just play nice! It's not hard. The idea of this thread was a bit of speculative fun. As it happens, I think (like LJA) that the mismatch between the strip makes any comparison moot - but if other people want to play this game, fine, why should I mind? It is easy enough simply to ignore it if it's not your thing.
Tova:
Look, I couldn't agree more. Don't you think, though, that it would be a touch bewildering if someone turned around and called your post "fucking elitist" because you used fancy, intellectual words like "speculative" and "moot"? :roll:
pwhodges:
Two people have expressed their views in a somewhat incompatible manner; this is unfortunate, I guess, but I can ask for them to remain good-mannered about it. However, if people are going to start taking sides and making the thread seem to be about posters' personalities rather than the comics, then things will have gone too far, and I'll lock the thread.
