At this point it’s very much you stirring the pot and acting like a drama queen.

Through repeatedly asking you to qualify your statements without ever calling you a name or making counter accusations against you?

You effectively just ran into a room, pooped on the floor then turned around and demanded to know who soiled the floor as you find such an act being offensive.

Rant, rave, scream and toss around your dislike all you want. No one really cares much about that act in and of itself. But the whole doing that while entirely pretending you did no such thing is sophomoric at best.

No dude, and it’s taken a lot of restraint on my part not to escalate this conversation, but I had concerns I wanted to express that I didn’t want to be clouded by the usual internet beef, this bickering right now that we’re doing, is exactly the sort of tearing apart of this community that I was concerned about.

I’m not here to drag Geeks and Gamers through the mud, and arguing with their Mod on their forum is going to do just that. So I hope you can respect that I’m not wanting to throw down and have a pissing contest right now.

This is getting to be rediculous at this point. I’ll let you get the final word in, I just don’t even know wtf we’re bitching about any more, I really don’t. And I don’t know what more I can do to qualify my posts.

Barring any more developments in this scenario this is my last post. I felt like we wrapped it up quite well, if you want to go on your own personal tangents while representing this community as a mod, that’s totally up to you.

Overall I very much enjoyed having this discussion, and obviously I have no problem addressing criticisms of my argument at neckbeard length. But there comes a point where trying to be cordial and address all criticisms just ends up being a pointless exercise, and we breached that threshold long ago.

Peace!

All I have asked are very specific questions several times and you have evaded those each time misdirecting to impugning my character. You have laid many personal charges against Eric July and his Company and you have done so with no evidence nor explanation of how you might be close enough to the situation to even know those things to be able to form a proper opinion.

If you just dislike Rippa and or his company from afar, well fine. No harm in that, we all have opinions.

But accusing people of things and acting shocked and offended when folks ask you to explain yourself is intellectual cowardice.

Was watching CobraCast and saw that you guys are looking for writers! Figured I’d be so bold as to throw my hat in the ring here as well as in the proper channels. I know this might look silly to bump this post. But I’m quite proud of the writing I did in here, it shows my passion for nerd culture, and also that I’m more than capable of blathering out pages and pages of neckbeard sh*t at the drop of a hat on pretty much any topic imaginable. The ComicsGate stuff is stuff I follow as a casual observer. Gamedev and gaming is my jam.

Writing sample from my gamedev blog (I write multiple times a week, more articles can be found on the website):

Paid articles I’ve written for prospective game developers:

I realize bumping this post might rile up a few feathers. But hey, that’s what impactful writing does!

If anyone in these parts knows Alex, the man in charge of this ordeal and could put in a good word for me, that would be much appreciated.

More writing can be provided, it was included in the email. Didn’t want to blow up this thread too much.

Anyhow, hope this isn’t seen as too annoying. Huge fan of this community and look forward to the opportunity. This will be my one and only post on this listing in this forum.

This sounds like the typical talking point from an Ethan Van Scivet fan.

First off, Eric has proven himself to be an amazing businessman. He’s brought a new level of excitement to a shrinking American comics market. He’s doing thing in under two years that EVS should’ve been able to pull off awhile ago. His expansion, talent acquisition, and foresight has been nothing short of impressive.

Has everything been perfect? Or course not. The Yaira trailer had it’s flaws, but he’s at least trying and willing to give things a shot and refine himself and learn.

Isom 1 released to massive reception, some had criticisms, and Isom 2 was an improvement from the first. Alphacore is nothing short of amazing with solid writing from a legend in Chuck Dixon, and the best art of the three releases. Yaira art looks fantastic, and the Soska Sisters have been nothing but gracious ambassadors.

There’s nothing wrong with the Fellowship supporting each other in their endeavors. If they have criticism to offer, there’s no reason it needs to be public and give drama farmers like the EVS’s and the Dick Masterson’s of the world new content.

Eric is innovative, ambitious, ND the Rippaverse came at a perfect time. With all fue respect, your post is entirely asinine.
