…so I didn’t think that little post of mine would have gotten quite as big as it did. My site stats are kind of ridiculous right now. I’m glad so many people enjoyed it (pretty much everyone linking the post found it hilarious/accurate), but in my jesting I was too hard on Don MacPherson, whom I’ve met and who’s a good guy (and his heart was definitely in the right place with his initial post, however I thought it was phrased). I used Don as a springboard to get at the really terrible comments over at “Comics Should Be Good”, without making enough of a leap between the two. I do think Don had a really good point about the slutification of DC Comics, and I’ve been really annoyed in particular at the depiction of Catwoman’s otherwise excellent costume. I still disagree with Don that the “Citizen Steel” image is in any way designed to provoke more prurient interests, but his larger point is one worth making. So, yeah, sorry I ended up lumping you in with a bunch of jackasses Don, I didn’t mean to.
I’ve got another post on this in me, but it’s gonna have to wait a few weeks. Thanks for reading/linking/enjoying.

No worries on this end, Chris. As I noted in the other thread on your site, I think some of your criticisms of my column were on point (my flippant yaoi
remark failed to make the appropriate point, for example).
And while we do disagree on the nature of Citizen Steel’s state of arousal or lack thereof in the JSA cover image, I do agree that it’s open to
interpretation.
Thanks. First round of beers (option: or rum) is on my next time our paths cross IRL (be it Toronto or San Diego).
I’m really glad to see two guys being able to respect each other in the morning. 🙂
Yay.

Glad to hear it, that’s pretty much my problem with the other post taken care of as well.
