I don't think we can give you too much credit here as you didn't even get the man's name right.

Yes, you vented your views, and completely rejected the idea that SCOTT Kurtz is entitled to his own opinion, which he is entitled to post in HIS blog on HIS website. If you don't like it, then don't read it. It's just that easy.

Don't hesitate to procrastinate. See my stuff at http://www.cuteninjagirls.com

Listen, know how easy it is to be angry at Scott. He's quite good at pushing buttons. However free speech requires that everyone, especially the people we disagree with, are allowed to have their say.

So yeah, right now, you have the right to point out why you're voting with your eyeballs and not reading PvP anymore. But declaring that he shouldn't express himself is the wrong approach to take.

What you should do is give your rebuttal of whatever it is he wrote. I assume the problem is that you are a Catholic? Show why he's wrong then. And if what he said (I don't care enough to go look) is a lot of Jack Chick style gobbledygook, then you can easily ignore it.

And if you're worried that there are people in his audience who just take what he says as 100% true without ever questioning things... Well, from fanboy to fundamentalist, there's no helping sheeple. So don't concern yourself with them.Â

"while dragging us into the his dark abyss that he calls life"

That sentence is a perfect example of the reason why I'm disgusted by bible (or insert here any other religious text) bashers of any denomination.

Besides, why do you think that the world at large should give a flying f*** of what comic you decided to stop reading? Unless yours is the old trite exercise of "lets insult a large webcomic and pray for a link". Â

When I first saw this title I thought, "Cool, we're on speaking terms again! But why tear that apart??"

OK, so it probably wasn't the greatest PR move for Scott to discuss religion in his blog. Let's not forget Sinead O'Connor's career-ending moment on SNL. But man, that's his business.

Maybe a more constructive topic for the halls of Comixpedia would have been about the effects of such blogs on all of our comic sites. A year and a half ago I posted a lot of entries in my comic's blog not thinking anyone really read it. More like a personal journal. Sometimes it was fueled with late night depression, some fueled with jealousy, or my own fan-boy drivel. As people started showing up for the comic - there seemed to be a threshold of what I should post there anymore.

For example - I really can't post my thoughts on a fellow webcomic creator's art on my blog without taking a risk of upsetting mutual readers, or even having the artist I'm talking about read it, and assess that I'm a douche.

There's a line between personal journal and blog. Especially when people are reading it.

But regardless, it's Scott's choice to deal with the consequences. Some people will enjoy getting to know a little bit more about him. Other's will only find it to be a turn off. You can't please all of the people all the time.

Joey: Thanks for explaining why this discussion has been so confusing. For the record, all of my comments above, including those about performance artists promoting the breeding of mutant house flies, were about STEVE Kurtz. Whether they may also apply to other members of the extended Kurtz family, I have no idea.

Kristofer AirsickMoth: I apologize for suggesting your comments about your monthly grooming bills were off-topic; if the topic of this thread is a different member of the Kurtz family, then your $2.95 monthly hair-care bill may in fact be somehow on-topic? I am not as familar with Scott Kurtz's work as I am with Steve Kurtz's. Is the economics of hairstyling a common theme of Scott Kurtz's work?

Gianna: I may be wrong, but I think you can say "fuck" on this board without the asterisks.

William: You spelled "penis-extension" wrong. Look for me to bring this up in completely unrelated message board conversations from now until the end of time as an example of why you are stupid and should never be listened to. "Well of course you think Foucault's 'microphysics of power' is an outdated concept. You can't even spell 'penis-extension.'"

PvP Scott: You say that you believe that Horatio is calling you "Steve" for the same reason that you believe William and Joey have called you "Scooter." What is this reason? And what, if anything, do you gain from trying to guess the intent of people's comments, rather than simply dealing with the content of their comments?

Horatio: Expecting artists not to say what's on their mind is kind of silly; that's what we do for a living.

Xerexes: I think a few posts actually have disappeared from this thread -- I seem to recall a tangent along the lines of "You can't read!" "No, you can't spell!" which wasn't all that worthwhile but seems to have gone AWOL.

Peace, hugs and kisses, Eric
