My response to you was perfectly polite, and cast no aspersions upon your
character or your judgment. I simply stated a position which disagrees with
yours, and explained my position.  You responded with an inflammatory and
insulting message containing very little besides personal attacks on me.
You misinterpreted the only phrase (not even a complete sentence) which you
commented on directly.  When commenting on the motivations that would lead a
writer to place an emotional scene in a superpower-created whirlwind, I said
"The writer is unsure of his (ordinarily I'd say 'her or his', but this is
comic book writers we're talking about)", obviously a wry, off-hand comment
lamenting the superabundance of males in the field of comic writing.  You
called this "a general statement that all comic writers are sub-human".  If
this is your level of reading comprehension, then it is no wonder you can't
understand Starstruck.  Finally, you claimed that I dislike comics, a
completely self-serving falsehood.

If you wish to discuss this in a rational fashion, and are capable of so
doing, then let us do so, and forget about your message and this one.
Otherwise, I don't see any point in continuing.
