Those exact words? No.

But I think he's referencing the outrage fanboys spew whenever he criticizes DC or Marvel Comics.

I know. Only 99.5% of it is shit. He needs to get his fucking facts straight.

One important thing I want it note is that, upon further consideration, I've decided to once again demote Alan Moore in my list of favorite writers, this time to fourth place.

Geoff Johns, take your EARNED spot.

Oh God, that guy is fucking awful.

"I'm gonna kill Kyle Rayner next."

"NO. You will RESPECT him."

Yes. When I read the quote I thought, "Let the rending and gnashing of teeth commence!"

Oh, what the hell do you know, you barely- educated fuck of the American midlands.

If you say so, but that wasn't what my post was about. I just find it funny that every time somebody asks Alan what he thinks about comics nowadays, he tends to start off with "I don't have anything to say about the industry", and then prattles on for several paragraphs about what he thinks about it.

If only he had new material, you know?

I don't mean it was PWNage to you, just PWNage in general when people whine about Alan Moore's opinions, instead of, you know, ignoring them.

I think we should better use our energies by whining about those who whine about Alan Moore's opinions.

Who's wih me?

I think he's pre-emptively martyring himself to deflect any criticism that he's a) whining, b) a douche bag, c) really fucking pompous, and d) all of the above.

For my mind, you get to be really fucking pompous when you write something as good as Watchmen, which is why I asked the question earlier. However, it's not exclusive, and you can reach a tipping point where your pomposity drops into douchebaggery.

If you're raging against The Machine for acting like The Machine, what are you really raging against, and how impotent does that make you?

And if you're raging against the guy who's raging against The Machine*, how impotent does that make you?

(And apparently "raging" doesn't mean lawsuits, calling for boycotts, etc. -- it means answering questions in interviews honestly.)

Who's the more douche: The douche or the douche that follows him?

He's correct. (But it wouldn't be cool for Gretsky to go around telling people how much everyone else in hockey sucks.)

The Catch-22 is that if someone had come up with something memorable after being shown how to do it, they'd be labeled as a hack for following Moore's template.

You can create something memorable that's completely unlike Watchmen.

FAIL

True, I'm retrospective, only Alan Moore has ever written good comics.

No, your image hotlink failed. Hence the "last edited by" stuff on your above post.

Also, how are you restrospective?

YOUR FACE WAS LAST EDITED BY FAIL.
