The Picture Thread Vol. 14: ♫ Very Superstitious ♫

[Mister Ed Horse of a Different Color Find all posts View Profile Close Mister Ed]

Have I ever actually bullied you? If so I didn't intend to. I don't think that pointing out errors sometimes, or expressing disbelief at a statement I find bizarre or insupportable, constitutes bullying.

I feel like I'm a "real poster", though. I don't think that's the explanation.

I will agree though, that it does seem like sometimes people do take things to a level that seems like bullying, criticizing just because it is you, and not because of the specifics of whatever you said.

Somebody quote me so he can see this:

I'm sorry, IonFan, that I lost my temper at you in The Gay Thread. You hadn't done jack to deserve such a biting remark from me, and I let emotions fueled by previous clashes with you get the better of my judgment.

I don't like a lot of what you have to say, and I've called you out on plenty of your posts that warranted criticism, but that wasn't one of them. If anything, I should have told Doom to calm down, because he was reacting even worse than I was and I should have been a voice of reason. That was my failing.

Because I don't trust myself to exercise the necessary restraint, even though I don't have anything to really fear, I've put you on ignore, for both our sakes.

There. I've said it.

Quoted. And I don't know about IonFan, but I admire this post, even knowing nothing of the specifics.

I like it. It provides a plausible explanation that doesn't mean his powers are totally ignored.

Kind of like the Kents having Clark refrain from using his powers, isn't it? Maybe we should have seen this coming miles off.

I'll quote you, too, so Agent Purple can see your response. And that'll be the end of my public service for the day.

Are they having him refrain from doing so in this strip? He uses them an awful lot if so. Or are you talking about in normal, comic stories of Clark's childhood?

That's what YOU think:



Now get behind the wheel. We're doing a little "public service" at the bank.

I'm just talking about the similarity of the situation J'onn is in to the general Superboy mythos, how he would have had to keep his powers on the down-low even though it would have gotten him out of any number of likely situations with other kids (let's face it, kids do pretty mean stuff to each other).

Fair enough, and I agree. I just wanted to make sure my memory wasn't failing me about some aspect of this strip.

Hell if I know; I haven't and will never read every strip, only the ones posted here.
