Flint has been putting people down in cartoon format. He is actually heckling through cartoons instead of voicing a complaint in english.

It isn't funny. It's passive aggressive. If he would say what he wants to say without the cartoons his aggression would be more apparent.


see?

Flint as passive-aggressive: excellent insight by you sky, now that I look back on it, that's part of what he's been all along. F, your comment?

Yes, that is the joke: "stereotypical, passive-aggressive internet user randomly attacks the most visible members of a message board for no discernable reason whatsoever; a satire of internet culture." More or less completely ruined, of course, now that I've had to explain it.

Kills 'satire of internet culture' with a knife.

I like Flintz, and I likes his cartoonz and senze of humourz.

Sometimes there is social commentary in his toonz. That makes it interesting, to me anyway.

But that's the beauty of the Cellar. We're all different and see things differently. One Dwellar's passive-aggressive is another Dwellar's in your face comedic talent.

The point is he doesn't have to guts to be in your face, he's a bomb thrower.

I find that to be a matter of perspective.

At any rate, I have no beef with either of you. I like your down to earth approach, I like Flint's completely different approach.

Guts? This isn't a rowdy honky-tonk where you get a beer bottle broken over your head for speaking out of line, this is the internet.

The worst thing that can happen here is a heated discussion over whether Kirk or Picard was the best captain of the Enterprise.

I'm a Picard guy, myself: contemplative and subtle. You want me to be a Kirk guy: rash and hot-tempered; but I'm not. Take note and move on.

I always prefer ranged weapons to melee combat. But that's in Diablo II.
