Well, that is what I was doing, Chris. I was just being more detailed about
it than most people. Do you even know what the word decorum means anyway?
At any rate, pertaining to grammatical mistakes, of which there are two or
three, that is the only way that you can be precisely clear on telling
someone the particular mistake. It is called constructive criticism. I may
have problems with learning it myself but at least I try to learn it myself
and if everyone else is going to have a problem with it, then so be it, let
them have problems with constructive criticism. I have done similar
projects, albeit not with LEGO, in the past and I am currently working on
similar projects and I have done so since I was a child...of which Tim is
acting like now. As for being narrow-minded, I call that statement the pot
calling the kettle black. I not only have the right but I will use the
right to whatever means necessary to get my viewpoint across and I dare
anyone to stop me. Also, as the seemingly enlightened LEGO people have so
conveniently forgotten, it is not your comic, either, but the property of
Jason Gross. You mean well but understand me poorly.
As for being a Christian, I am standing up for what is right by not allowing
people to deceive other people. If you hate it and, consequentially me, so
be it. Personally, I think that for those who will take ad hominem
arguments against me in such a manner do not deserve to be here as they will
make a political statement out of the free thoughts and expressions which
come from my mouth. If I was rude, I would make Jerry Springer and the kids
from South Park convert their faith. I am, however, trying to be reasonable
here so please do everyone a favor and return the courtesy.
The problem with modern Christianity is that there are too many cheerleaders
and fair-weather believers and not enough warriors who will fight at any
cost for what is right in life. Maybe I did not go about it the right way
but this is the only way that I know in life.
As for some words, it was not necessarily about language. My intention was
to suggest a heightened sense of drama to the comic, such as my page 22
suggestion. There was nothing wrong with what Starfish Head said, he merely
needed some more dramatic emphasis. A good villian yell when they have been
defeated is always a sign of a good series. Read any comic series, from the
classic Marvel and DC comics to Image, Malibu and the other new guys and
Japanese manga and it is almost always the same. The villian gets mad,
yells, and swears revenge, plain and simple. If you disagree with me, then
your real words were, "Please let me know what you think so that we can make
your life a living hell and that we can make you regret ever having
independent thought from the Collective." instead of letting me share my own
thoughts and expressions. Also, a commentator DOES GIVE OPINIONS, THOUGHTS,
AND EXPRESSIONS. A commentator comments on a particular subject and gives
their own ideas, thoughts, and emotions to an event. Watch anything from
wrestling to the Olympics and you will find that it is true. Even news
reporters are commentators in some form or fashion. I did not want to be
harsh but the truth sometimes hurts. Deal with it or let it deal with you.
As for the comment about the slant, if there was material there which was
slanted towards an older audience, then it should be presented as such but
the majority of the material there was or could very well be targeted
towards a younger audience, thus beginning my frustration with some parts of
the comic. It needs better balance in this regard. Again, I have trouble
making myself clearer with people but hopefully you better understand me
this time as opposed to the last time.
Jesse
