Yeah yeah time for the angry comic book reader again. Skip to below the line since there's some actual good news from last month, in fact I thought I made a journal about that. But first the stuff that pissed me off.

So I am NOT a fan of the One More Day and Brand New Day storlines from Spider-Man. For those that don't know a year and a half ago there was a huge retcon that really broke a lot of character personalities all at the whim of Marvel's stupid editor and chief, Joe Quesada.

In a dumb attempt at damage control the Spider-Man board at Marvel decided to be ONE topic discussing One More Day/Brand New Day since they knew it was going to upset a lot of fans. So it worked for a while, the page had both sides raging and hitting a crazy page number of nearly 800 pages.

Then the head mode decides that it's too much damn work to monitor ONE topic and closes it. Who I thought was actually a respectable man, seems I was wrong. He supported the new direction but it seems like an opponent in a debate were the other guy just storms off with his fingers in his ears ignoring the opposition.

Gets worse. Another pretty long topic, "Bring Back Spidey's marriage" was also closed at near twenty pages.

It became pretty much from the head mod: Don't make topics about OMD/BND. Which caused a bit of an outcry and I admit I sarcastically made a topic asking if the sales topic (detailing the overall sales drop of Spider-Man) was going to get closed to.

The mod banned me for a week. Then decided to ban me for a total of three weeks.

WTF!? If you're closing off voices at the cost of losing those that actually like BND then there's something wrong here.

Anyway a number of topics were popping up calling the mod a facist and such, ugh I wonder how ugly it's going to get there...and I can't see it while being banned!

Anyway nerd wage, happier stuff below.

I submitted a story and won third place in a writing contest! That was so awesome! I wish I remember to make a topic then. Maybe I can make it as a writer after all!
