If Linsner had contacted me directly, either on ebay or through here, both places of which he is very aware, I would have happily considered his position and worked with him to resolve his concerns. Instead his unhinged passive aggressive scorched earth approach means I'll never support his work ever again. The great irony, to me, all these years later, is that I was actively buying the monthly book he had at the time he went on his tirade. I immediately discontinued that as soon as I interacted with the guy.
I've met many comic creators over the years, and the majority of them are just regular people with a cool profession. Some, unfortunately, have a sense of themselves inconsistent with reality. Don Rosa is a creator who is all of these things.
