Agreed. My problem with the scenario above (edit: well, on the previous page) is that it is completely centered around Marten: Faye's and Claire's argument consists of them defining the other by their relationship to Marten, they only realize how inappropriate they've been when The Man in their lives storms out on them, and nothing is fixed until they make up (off-panel) and Marten returns to find them properly chastised. I'm not saying Marten has to stay out of this completely, he's allowed to criticize or defend either character, but this is definitely something Faye and Claire need to work out between themselves for themselves, and not as a condition of Marten's approval.
BenRG:
I think that you're being overly-negative there, Gladstone. You're forgetting that Marten, or rather their own respective (if distinctive and differing) love for Marten is a potential unifying force between Claire and Faye (and precious few others exist, if any). We all know how zen he is about his associates' behaviour. If he calls them out, then they've certainly stepped over a line.

Um, wow. It was a joke. No need to take everything so damn literally.

Welcome to the internet, where people can't read your tone! I also saw the way you started off and thought 'Oh, for fuck's sake.'
Because most people who start off like that think their opinion is more than that, that it's the truth and these other dumbasses just can't see it.
As a part of the disagreeing group, you essentially seemed to be saying 'you don't get it, do ya, fuckface?'
Which is not conducive to an open discussion. Any time you want to set users into 'groups' and imagine them as 'other,' just... Don't mention it, because you're probably wrong.

Maybe not assume the worst of everyone, then? None of this would have been a thing if you had simply given me the benefit of the doubt instead of assuming I was trying to be a haughty asshole. I'm here to have fun; it's a comic. And yes, I become passionate when I have a "lightbulb" moment; it's not meant to alienate anyone or to make some other group feel like the "other". It's just my opinion.

Yeah, might've been a bit aggressive there, sorry. I'm not saying Marten can't step in to keep the peace, but we need to see Faye and Claire actually trying to work things out between themselves, not just making up because Marten is Not Amused. As I said a few pages ago, I'd rather see Claire sticking up for herself without looking to Marten for help first. "I'm sorry I've annoyed you, but can you tone down the threats of violence, please?" wouldn't be a bad place to start.
Is it cold in here?:
Understandable though Faye's actions may be, I think Valkygrrl is right about them.
