I stumbled across more bullshit on Twitter of creators patting themselves the back and telling everyone we should speak positively about comics. I insulted 3 creators on the process. One specifically said he was insulted, so I said "Good, spread the word." I can't stand ass kissing praise. If I say something is crap, it means there are things I care about... and this ain't it. It means I want something done about it.

Message boards where your only purpose on the board is to help hype their comics or help cheer them on are worthless message boards to me. I have a lot more respect for a company to have a forum and the users are allowed to bash the company about certain things they don't like about their product. I certainly have a lot more respect for that than a board that only allows praise. If all I can do is praise a company, then I have no interest. I believe as a company, you would want to know what gripes people have with your product. You're going to learn more from 1 person with a legitimate complaint than you are 100 people kissing your ass.
I go off and on with Twitter. Sometimes, like now, I dont visit it for months. The reason most likely is the creators I follow just to see what they have to say are all licking their own assholes. Its downright disgusting! Once again, a little self criticism of ones self could go a long ways to me with your fans. You can certainly express "Yeah, that wasn't my best work" and move on. I'll respect more than blatantly knowing something is a piece a crap and telling the world "You should buy this!" There is no self blame on Twitter. Only tooting of their own horn. You understand that to a degree but after awhile you start thinking this person is a walking piece of shit.
I follow a few creators on Twitter, but I'm close to stopping. I posted a comment on Jim Shooter's blog about Dark Horse. If disappeared. If it doesn't return, I'm dropping him as well. I'm not going to waste my time typing just to have my reply disappear after it's posted.
