The proper response is to continue defending one's original statement, even if what you are defending is not what you actually meant, and to simultaneously exponentially increase the severity of your attack on your opponent with each subsequent post, escalating the pissing match until your opponent gives up or the moderator is forced to close the thread.

I've obviously goofed here. I meant to chide the Beat's slightly long wait time between comment submission and the actual posting. I've more than once re-written my post in that time too, re-shading my comments in the intervening seconds. Carry on, sir, in all your endeavors, and pay no attention to my lame comments on human nature, technology, my own crankiness, if that's what they are. Again, my apologies.

Making a 24 hour comic is a glorious journey; it is not without pain.

I was being fecicious about my Scott McCloud comment John. I have a lot of respect for McCloud otherwise if I didn't why host the event at all? I stayed up for 24 plus hours with these kids which I volunteered to do because I believe in the concept. I actually enjoy reading your comments here but feel I must defend what I posted and leave it at that. Maybe you should look into a grant studying the effects of a critics behavior posting on boards after reviewing comics for 24 hours. Should I send all the student's work for you to review? I'm sure you have some constructive words you can give them John. Amazing how my posts with the intention to share the achievements of hardworking students can be minimized by your comments. Geez -- lighten up! I'll save a seat for you next year and get you out of your well worn armchair quarterback couch. My apologies for the use of the exclamation mark John -- I'm happy to give you a reason to continue posting these enlightening comments of yours.

Actually, it takes the Earth about 23 hours 56 minutes 4.1 seconds to make a full rotation on its axis-- with respect to the "fixed" stars in space. Since the Earth is revolving about the Sun, the Earth has to rotate for another 3 minutes 55.9 seconds to complete one solar day. And don't tell me that I'm the only nitpicking science geek who loves comics. ;) “…before the Earth makes a full rotation on its axis.”

In this case, mr. cooney thinks better of mentioning Scott McCloud in terms that could possibly be construed as less than complimentary. He also thinks again about that exclamation point. Moderation in all things! All in the space of four minutes one night. This is a valuable new tool for literary deconstructionism.
