Greetings,

Three things.

1. Moore, Whedon, good enough. But you're putting me in the same bracket as
that hack KING? What did I ever do to you?

2. Write, or wrote in my case to entertain...sorta. As you said 'at times' is
your self. Whaddya mean 'At Times'? All times. If I wanted to write for the
benefit of the great masses I think 'I Like Cheese' would be about as complex
a plot as I could hope to create.

3. I'm not quite sure how this simple truth fails to compute for so many (Then
again: I Like Cheese, use that as an intellectual barometer for most) but:
Anyone who actually is stupid, not foolish, not simple, not silly, or
romantic, or passionate but FULL ON STUPID, enough to invest a heaping amount
of self in a fandom is painting a big ol' bullseye on their forehead. Or ass.
Or groin, or whichever mental equivalent of a soft-spot I feel like kicking
in...with spike boots....covered in lemon juice...that are rusty. Yeah.


Mmmmm. Rusty boots.

I digress.

I say trigger the flame wars, I say 'Cry Havoc and Let Slip the Dogs of
Guffaw's.' Wouldn't be wars. Wars are serious; if one takes flame wars
serious, they are, by definition, not serious, therefore they are clowns,
therefore they are bozo's, therefore they are stupid, therefore they are
prey...for me....

It's the CIIIIIRRRCCLLLEEE OFFF LIIIIFFEEE!! AND IT MMMMMOOOOVVVEESSS USSSS
AAALLLLLL!!!!

I remain, as always,
Mad-Hamlet
