I think with the sense of mutual respect we generally have for each other it's perfectly acceptable to take jabs one in a while. Sure MK's was a little extreme, but it was done in jest and meant, not to offend, but be funny. Certainly it failed by this point, but that doesn't change the intentions.

I don't think that's what he was saying at all. I think it was more praise than anything. Sure it may not have some across as such, but I really think the only reason Heywood came up was because of his abilities to flame those stories and give those authors a piece of his mind.

I won't disagree with that. Considering most members of this board are minors (myself included), it was inappropriate and (very) potentially uncalled for in the sense it was worded. I'm pretty sure the MK didn't intend for it to be taken as it has been.


Just out of curiousity, how much longer until this makes fandom wank?
