A Word of Warning

On the prior entry I received this comment:

John, I love your blog! I thought that you only reviewed well-known bad comics, but seeing your entry on Lowroad gave me hope! I love to suggest a comic for you -- mine! Strike one: the strip is about toys who are Dungeons and Dragons characters! Strike two: my site design is primitive and pink! Strike three: my online name is very goofy! Especially for a 43-year old father who works in publishing in NYC! So please come by ... and say what you *really* think! -- Cayzle.

No. I am not your fucking publicity service. You are not going to get me to rip apart your shitty webcomic just so you can nudge-nudge, wink-wink, look at me I'm e-famous! Cayzle, you are pathetic enough for me to write about you on this blog. You're a slimey, brown-nosing little dick who sees this blog as an opportunity to up your hitcount. You want that? Go to fucking Tangents and let Bobby not only talk at length about you, but never say a single bad word.

Oh, wait, nobody reads Tangents.

Even so, I will say this again: FUCK YOU. As shitty as your webcomic may be - and, honestly, I haven't looked and I never will - it's never going to appear on this blog.

If you're so desperate for attention you're willing to be here, then that says more about you than any words I could muster. I'm going after the delusional pricks like Terracciano and Reitz, who think they're the second coming of Tolkein/Shakespeare and burst into tears when someone points out what a pile of crusty old semen their work is. I don't need some boot-licking creep - who's forty-three for Christ's sake - of an attention whore.

I am not Bob Tangents. I do not respond well to people trying to crawl up my ass. I do not need the approval of some tiny, shitty webcomic dick to survive. I am not here to entertain you, you wretch. I am here to entertain other people at your expense.

Then why review comics like Lowroad and Shortpacked? I'm not aware of any instances where the authors have been so arrogant/delusional.

Thank god you called this guy on his shit. I'd say he's even more "That Kid" than Robert A. Howard, willing to take any level of abuse and pretend it's funny just so people will notice him.

^^^haha you guys cared enough to post comments on the blog oh wait
Shishio said...
...As did you. Haha, hypocrisy and ignorance for the win!
Alex said...
^ Both of you fail. The second anonymous guy fails for being unfunny and Shishio fails for failing to recognize the joke. And I'm pretty sure that Mr. Solomon reviews "comics like Lowroad and Shortpacked" because he finds them to be genuinely bad.

I think also it was because both those webcomics have a fan base (though lowraods is very small) so he knows his reveiw isn't doing them any favors.

Well done sir!

I feel sorry for that guy's kids.

Heh. I knew you weren't gonna let that slide, JS.

"^ Both of you fail. The second anonymous guy fails for being unfunny and Shishio fails for failing to recognize the joke." Unfortunately, I suffered a brain fart that prevented me from scrolling down to see the "oh wait" part. My apologies, anonymous person, for falsely accusing you of being an ignorant hypocrite.

Put down with all the kindness and tact of a wrecking ball to the face. Wouldn't have it any other way.

They are delusional in the fact that they think their stuff is good enough to be put online and show to other people, expecting them to like it.

OH SHIT JOHN SOLOMON I JUST READ THESE WORDS ON A VERIFIED HONEST-TO-GOD FORUM ON THE INTERNET OH MY GOD JOHN SOLOMON YOU'RE ABOUT TO BE TORCHED WITH A STEAK (medium rare) I'M PRETTY SURE YOU LAUGHED ABOUT THIS SHIT THREE WEEKS AGO BUT I THOUGHT I'D THROW THIS OUT FOR THE REST OF THE FOLKS TO LAFFO ABOUT The jurisdiction is federal. We're talking felony crimes here. We're talking felony crimes in an era where the government doesn't care about the civil rights of those arrested. For the hate crime legislation I believe we're talking federal. John's statements legally constitute "Assault" (Battery being the actual physical attacks, Assault is the threat, perceived threat, and verbal threat). The entire Hate Crime legislation is so fuzzy that they can nail it to just about any situation. It was deliberately created that way so they could add extra punishment to individuals who were "designated" as deserving of being charged by a hate crime (ie, white male, some black males as well). Ms. Reitz is transsexual and a religious minority. So attacks on her do count as hate crimes. Considering how insane prosecutors are these days... JOHN SOLOMON IS A FUCKING INTERNET BULLY WHO BULLIES PEOPLE WITH WITH WORDS AND HURTS THEM IN WAYS OF UH....insults

Oh no. A lawlsuit.
jerkface said...
considering that the tranny monster has already publicly stated that JS should reveal his personal information so that people can kill him, uhh lol internet

Someone needs to do a little more research on that whole 'hate crimes' thing. Especially given that Solomon went after the comic, and not the creator.
Nick said...
Yup. It was encyclopedia dramatica that went after the creator :D

Jolly good sport, old man. Tea?

"A hit, sir! Touché! Thanks for the response. Just what I deserve, I daresay." Wow. Are you Tobias Funke from Arrested Development?

Oh my god, someone kick Cayzle in the nuts and see how many times he asks for another. What a tool.

Bollocks.

Haha, somehow I knew that would get some sort of comment out of you, while it wasn't the first comic asking you to "attack my comic plz" it was phrased in such a pathetic way as to just be annoying as hell. Well, keep up the good work entertaining/shocking the masses.

SOCIAL EXPERIMENT!
Reo said...
Wait, wait, wait... this was an actual email? And he wrote to you with THAT kind of idiotic, yaoi-fangirl tone of enthusiasm in his message? Christ on a Cracker. I'd only go to that site just to find contact information in order to find out where he physically lives.
Reo said...
Reading more of the guy's message, it makes me shudder to realize this guy might have kids. Worse yet, he goes around bragging to his kids' friends about how he's a "Whacky-Fun Internet Cartoonist." ...Also, the home-address comment should have been thought out a little better, I am going to have to admit.

I was looking for the link for that in the comments so I could bookmark this comic and read it. I think this man was very brave to ask you review his comic. Then I googled cayzle and found the site, which is: http://www.cayzle.com/ Nyah-nyah nya nya nyah! I'm giving him publicity in this comment! If you are going to delete this, I'll re-post the link! Now he's getting more readers! Someone who finds his comjic from here might actually even donate money to him! And by the way, John Solomon, how do you know that the people who send you links saying "check out this piece of shit" are not actually the authors of the comic with a different nick? Jelena "Leena" Kivinen from Finland, "that kid" who still can't put her name in the comment without having an account.
