My apologies to all for any crimes to humanity I might have committed on The Colbert thread.Please understand I'm old and cantankerous and didn't even watch the show.I just like Jessica Jones,Adhesive X and worry about Derek Jeter's future I'd be worried, too, assuming that (a) Jones at some point was one of Jeter's string of conquests (along with apparently every other even remotely attractive female in New York, the fictional ones probably included) & (b) she's still with Luke Cage.

If locking that thread leads to Luke Cage beating up Derek Jeter, I think it was definitely worth it.

Gee whillikers. Is "Joe Quesada on Colbert Reports Tonight" our first locked thread? That happened while I was busy doing actual *choke* work, but my apologies for my (rather minor, I hope) contributions (which I like to think I helped temper by subsequently engaging backissueben in actual conversation, as opposed to sniping) to the tenor & tone that mrp felt warranted the move. Of course, he called us all "posers" in his final message, so, y'know, my feelings are hurt. (By bowing out before the locking, I also missed a chance to express my fondness for Jessica Jones' character. So I'm doing it here.) I think I'd like to check out the character too. I've heard that Alias was pretty good. Can't say I enjoyed it, but I only read the first two trades. The art was not my thing. The panels don't move! They were better than her New Avengers stint, however.

I thoroughly enjoyed Alias when it came out. Jessica Jones was great, and I liked that it was more-or-less self-contained which is where I think Bendis excels. Admittedly, it's been a long time since I've read it, though.

I read a friend's copies, and it was decent, but not as enjoyable as a lot thought, though I'm glad to hear Gaydos is doing the Black Hood. Pumped for Dark Circle.

If a thread is locked, it is locked for a reason. Bringing it up again, even to apologize or to make light of the subject, invites an opportunity for problems to resurface and altercations to be resumed. Please drop the topic and let it be.

According to reports Rupert Murdoch and FOx just made an $80 billion offer to acquire Time Warner today, but was initially rebuffed. What Murdoch wants-M *shudder* The fact these people have that much $ to throw around reminds me how messed up humanity is.

Wow. How would that not trigger major anti-trust litigation?

No, that would be if I deleted all the threads and reset the board Honestly, I'm really not happy that there have been so many flare-ups here in the last three days...REALLY unhappy, but it's not one or two specific individuals. It's new members having preferences very different from those shared by most here, and both sides lacking tact and civility in discussing their differing viewpoints. Some of my favorite memories of this community were times when I got into an epic debate with another member. We'd throw everything we had at each other, get a little red in the face, but always remain respectful and continue to move the conversation forward, never simply dismissing the other's opinion or reiterating our own ad nauseum. I made some of my first and best friends here through those kinds of debates: Cei-U!, Captain Jim, even thwhtguardian and I met on opposite sides of a Grant Morrison debate. We're taking opportunities to learn from each other and earn each other's respect, and trading those opportunities in for bickering that degrades this entire community. We're better than this. All of us. I'm not going to single folks out anymore. A lot of us walked the line and flirted with shades of gray in how we conducted ourselves in these discussions. Those of you who didn't make the best choices know who you are, and if you don't like how the other guy is talking to you, take a deep breath, walk away, come back, and politely tell him so -- like an "adult" (and yes, that's a specific nod to a moment that made me particularly unhappy).
