Lazyboy Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 4 hours ago, TwoPiece said: No. As history will show you - he was one of the people with the most impact in the industry. He didn't accomplish this "by knowing someone in the business". He accomplished this by his own merit. With creative ideas, as an editor, and as a great person. He's a world-recognized idol, legend, and hero himself. Eventually, yes. But he would not have been in the position to make any of that happen if not for his family connections. And some of his collaborators may argue with some of your assertions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazyboy Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 5 hours ago, GeeksAreMyPeeps said: The assumption is that you were truthful when you said: • "My former boss" • "would not hire someone unless they knew someone at the company" You're the one inferring "before he retired" (which you conveniently left out here) to mean "during every second he spent in that position before he retired" as if that's the only possible interpretation. [/devilsadvocate] This all started when he claimed that being a lesbian latina was not a qualification to be a writer but "knowing someone" was. Not to mention claiming there's no creativity as if every creator is completely ignorant of the industry's past and wants to give away their best ideas and go penniless to the grave as did many before them. It's one thing to complain about problems and another thing to not understand them. Posting drunk sometimes provides a bit of entertainment, but it doesn't do much of any real value.

YOU, I can talk to. you don't come off as smug and arrogant like the other guy. part of the qualification of knowing someone was in part truthful and in part in jesting. because honestly how can you explain why some of the people doing these books are employed? Sometimes its like they found somebody outside hanging out by the building and said, "can you draw?" and he's like "yup" and they go YOURE HIRED! but I don't want to derail the thread again. it spiraled out of control already.
