The Long Road

08/08/2003 Archived Entry: "Loser"

Here's a conversation I recently had on the message boards of Newsarama. The names of those involved have been modified to protect their identities =D

me

"Some might say both. I'm kinda glad Morrison is leaving NXM though. A run of #114-#154 is pretty damn good these days and also I felt the book lost a lot with the art changes. The Silvestri story, the final arc, looks great from what I saw in Wizard Zero though. Marvel has more to lose though because it's gonna be hard to find a top name to put on NXM and I might just drop it if it's a no name writer starting on #155. We shall see on Friday. If NXM sells more without Morrison then it's a win win situation, right?"

I'd like to take this oppurtunity to say that Rich said it could be relaunched as just "x-men" again. AND I'd like to point out that I predicted this around new x-men 114.

Guy 1
Sorry dude, you're wrong. If you read on, Rich also says:

"The relaunch of "Daredevil" was confirmed by Marvel's publishing plans and schedules - leaked by their own website. "

As I stated earlier, I hope he is wrong.

Me
I really don't see your point.

Guy 2

"I really don't see your point. "

For what it's worth, I didn't understand that response either. You were talking strictly about New X-Men, right?

Me
Yes I was. and Thank You.

Guy 1

"I really don't see your point. "

What's not to see?! You said he didn't mention a possible Daredevil relaunch. I'm showing you he clearly stated that. It's not rocket science is it?!?

Me
I said no such thing.

Guy 2

"What's not to see?! You said he didn't mention a possible Daredevil relaunch. I'm showing you he clearly stated that. It's not rocket science is it?!? "

Please believe me when I say that I usually try to stay out of other people's business. But unless you are joking, this is one of the stupidest and pointlessly confrontational posts I've read.

I don't know Rayne from a hole in the ground, but I do know that his post said NOTHING about Daredevil. Whatever you've imagined him saying about Daredevil just didn't happen.

In fact, if you had taken the time to read the rest of the board, you would have seen that I replied to him and said

"For what it's worth, I didn't understand that response either. You were talking strictly about New X-Men, right?"

To which he replied

"Yes I was. and Thank You"

In fact, this was the very last post prior to yours. If you had simply scrolled to the end of the page before posting, you could've read that.

I dunno. Maybe you two are friends and this is a longstanding joke, a tongue-in-cheek jab that is over my head. If so, I'm sorry.

But if you're serious, then you need to start paying attention more closely.

And people wonder why Texans think comics are for kids.

Me

"I dunno. Maybe you two are friends and this is a longstanding joke, a tongue-in-cheek jab that is over my head. If so, I'm sorry."

This is most definately not the case.
And you're not out of line by any means.

I just love it when people tell me point blank that I'm wrong when they don't have a clue what I just said.

Guy 1
Just want to apologise to Rayne, reread all the posts, and I finally see what you meant.

I was being a bit of a prick. Sorry!

omg, you should have seen how much time it took to format that thing correctly. I could have written something truly less lazy with all the time spent formating.
