I see you haven't lost that endearing quality of being a smartarse.

Don't ever change, man.

Come on: you know what I mean. What's the sequence? Where does for instance Gotham City Knights (or whatever it's called) come in the running order, how do the Arkham books fit in, what about Killing Joke etc? So I can read them in sequence but without reading a million squillion comics. I'm old, you know!

As for Sandman, it's muy confusing, senor! Dead boy Detectives? Locke and Key? Nightmare Country vs Dream Country. Soccorro!!!

As you once said, come on man; help a brother out here.

This is also your chance to show off all that comic book knowledge only you have, so don't waste it.

Nah the only pedos in the conversation are the people he links as his TERF heroes.

last warning to jadis and Charles about the pointless & dumb personal insults and transphobic/antisemitic language. Hold yourselves to some standards, jesus christ.

edit: actually, you know what, you're both banned for a day to cool off.

I think it's fair really to ask Jesus Christ to hold himself to some standards, yes. Why should he be above the law?

Note: thanks a lot Marie: now I have to wait a whole day more for Batty to ignore my request!

(And my visitor's pass expires soon....)

There was a big case in Ireland recently where a teacher was dismissed from his post (originally just suspended) for failing to agree to call a trans pupil by their chosen pronoun. At least, that's what he said, and he made it into a big thing on, anyone? Yeah, his religious right not to accept transgenderism. The school went repeatedly out of its way to explain to him that he was NOT dismissed for any religious or gender views he held, but for refusing to abide by the school's policy, and, almost immediately, returning to the school even though he had been told not to come near it while the case went ahead.

Even the judges lost their heads with him, as they again repeatedly tried to point out why he was on trial. He went to jail, refused to change his mind, challenged the authority of the court, demanded to be released, refused to abide by an undertaking that would have allowed him out of jail as long as he went nowhere near the school, kept going on and on and insisted on forcing his view that his religious and constitutional rights were being violated.

That's the kind of people we're dealing with in these times. I want to write the rules, I don't recognise yours, and I have no intention not only of not changing, but I will twist the issue into whatever argument suits my case, no matter how off base it is.

I think the ****er is still in jail. I hope they never let the bastard out.
I'll look for links: it was about three months ago it was in the Irish news.

That kind of stuff is so embarrassing. Like, repeatedly misgendering trans people doesn't make you a brave warrior boldly refusing to surrender in your crusade for free speech, it just makes you an asshole.

Like, there was a guy in my neighborhood as a kid who repeatedly called me "George". That was not my name, and I didn't like being called that. That's all I can think of when these losers intentionally, maliciously and repeatedly misgender trans people. Me speaking up and asserting that my name was not George and then telling my neighbor to knock it off because I felt disrespected and uncomfortable wasn't "censoring his free speech".

My name is Alexandria and my ID literally says "F" on the gender marker. You're not being "forced to play along with my delusions" or whatever, it's called basic respect. Maybe you are obsessed with your idea that I'm not a real woman. Maybe you're absolutely convinced that my name is George. You can think that all you want, but have some damn tact at the absolute least.

Oh well we may be a load of backward. as Batty would say and has said, island monkeys, but you'll be glad to know few if any Irish people supported that twat and nobody cared about him.

And by the way, Alexandria is a beautiful name (did you know the world's largest library was there in anitquity, before it got burned down?) and searching through my bookshelves I definitely find you in the non-fiction section.

Glad to hear that! I've never been to Ireland, but my sister has many times and my husband's father's side of the family has roots there. I would love to visit someday.

And thank you so much! I did know about the Library of Alexandria. It's a fascinating subject to read about. This Alexandria may not have too much lore of ancient civilization in the old noggin, but I do feel a bit of kinship there as I do maintain a detailed digital archive of relevant information for taking care of the household. As of now it's just called "The Digital Archive", maybe I should retitle it "The Library of Alexandria F.", haha.
