JMS ... a-hole?

This is the place to discuss the episodes of the Comic Book Page podcast, the Comic Book Page website or pretty much anything else of interest to the Comic Book Page community...

This whole thing started with JMS posting something inflammatory....that he KNEW was inflammatory....in a place where people who will be baited by that inflammatory info will see it. And he put the icing on the cake with his "Just saying...."

Because when someone says "Just saying...." it means they certainly are not "Just saying", they are baiting.

And then he acts like he was just sharing numbers and had no idea people would get upset. That's the ridiculous & disingenuous part that really warranted someone calling him on it.

Wacker could have been a bit more restrained, but I'm glad he didn't just let it slide, because it definitely was a shot by JMS and needed some kind of defense.

Just to be clear I in no way support what JMS did. Every time one of these stories come out I usually favor the other side over JMS.

These things always come off as so unprofessional to me.

It was kind of a dick move by JMS, but whenever these guys get into its like knowing a bunch of 15 year old girls who are arguing on facebook.

In my eyes no one looks good when this stuff happens.
