Hell, even watching the news lately is hard going The thing to take away from this is understanding that I KNOW there is something different, wrong, with me. I've been watching these forums and this thread for a long time. I came in with an accusatory tone, which I didn't intend, then bowed out. Paqart blantently blames others for them not wanting to or unable to listen to him Hence why Valiantman will always have some respect from me. He may have bitten my head off, but nobody dictates to him what he should do. He presents things as he sees them You tagging me with that is supposed to support, what exactly? You are all aboard acknowledging that I should be ignored, yet you yourself don't do it. Tiny, petty and immature Oh and for the record I haven't hit the button in this thread to my recollection.

He may have bitten my head off, but nobody dictates to him what he should do. He presents things as he sees them For whatever it's worth, I want to apologize to @The Meta if my frustration and board posts (back around page 13 or so) went further than I intended them. Generally speaking, I see the discussions and debates on this board something like an American football game where sometimes it's a blowout and the fans leave early (quick conversations that end within a page or two), and other times, it's a good, long game of back-and-forth where each side takes the lead for a bit. The discussions here can get heated, but just like a football game, the players intended to take a few hits when they jumped in. When you arrived into this discussion, it was like you had come into the game just to deliver a late hit and get a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. In reality, you were probably more like a fan on the sidelines yelling down to the players on the field, not expecting to receive any player retaliation. Anyway, despite the poor metaphor, I apologize for whatever additional harm may have been associated with your CPTSD. divad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, despite the poor metaphor, I apologize for whatever additional harm may have been associated with your CPTSD. You have an idea of how much I appreciate this , by reason being I still respect you I apologize for calling you a Richard, but it seemed apt at the time I am also glad you reflected on the fact I wasn't telegraphing playing a victim. When I stated, I hear that a lot, its amazingly common for people to jump straight to that. I am VERY used to it now, but its extremely rare for someone to acknowledge their presence and how it effects others. Very happy to have you gain that respect back Hope we've both learned that you enjoy the cut and thrust of debate while I tend to shy away when I know I'm over my head I am really glad we sorted this, like I've said before, I greatly admire your knowledge and your vast collection. You bring much to the boards, and it was never my intention to disrespect you greggy, valiantman and jimjum12 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust the science Mile High is missing a lot of newsstands. If you take a look at their online catalog, you'll see that after 2000, they are missing significant numbers of just about everything in newsstand. Last time I looked, they were missing 84 of the last hundred issues of ASM V2 (#600-700) in newsstand. That means I have more of these than are listed by MH, including all but one of the 16 listed there. For high print run titles, it's interesting that the largest comic book store in the US, owned by one of the first people to draw attention to newsstands, is missing so much.
