I have deleted several posts from this thread because they were same kind of meaningless mud slinging and mean spirited RUMOR MONGERING that grown adults should not engage in. Professionalism is as professionalism does. Everyone behave. Woh boy….I go out to lunch and make a few phone calls and everyone goes mental.

Places I've been banned from? You mean like you banned me from the Bendis Boards for our personal history rather than any behavior on the boards? But really, Dan...this will be the last I respond to you...because you make every thread you find me in about me instead of about the topic at hand, like you did over at Blog@.

And the fact is, with the number of places Kevin is "taking time off from"-- and being flat-out banned from, there aren't that many places I go to where I can see his posts anymore. So the problem's kinda sorting itself out. See what happens when you post without refreshing? *sigh*

Ash,
I know you’re right. And the fact is, with the number of places Kevin is “taking time off from”– and being flat-out banned from, there aren’t that many places I go to where I can see his posts anymore. So the problem’s kinda sorting itself out.

So you didn't report Marc Guggenheim to the WGA? Or perpetuate the rumor that Devin Grayson slept her way into the work she got? Or frequently mention Val's sexual organs? Or ANY of that stuff? Weird. You should check your accounts, I think someone's running around posting as you. Gotcha. So you didn’t report Marc Guggenheim to the WGA?

Lots of us agree. He's done a ton of cheap and petty things lately, but you don't have to stoop to his level and stalk him around the internet. The more attention you give Huxford, the more it validates him. Dan - Huxford is a blight on the internet. Lots of us agree.

When I have people to exaggerate and sensationalize what I said, it works as great advertisement. By the way...Dan? It's sweet how you always post after me. And I'm flattered and all, but it just wouldn't work between us. I like Spider-Man, and you write Brand New Day. It's too big of a river to cross. ;) Well, I think it all balances out, Dan.

There's also the "reporting Marc Guggenheim to the WGA" thing and the "perpetuating the rumor that Devin Grayson slept her way to the top" thing. Heck, I can think of half a dozen reasons why your cheap & petty shots are burning your bridges wherever you go. Kevin,

What years are those other sequences from? Some are from the 60s and 70s but others would be more recent. How recent?

Ouch, it hurts to think. In response I will wait for the "Secret Invasion" TPB and ignore everything until then, like I do with every summer "event." My god, all this confuses me so.
