And even if somebody did think that a certain comic wasn't good, then THEY WOULDN'T FUCKING CARE BECAUSE IT IS JUST A WEBCOMIC!!<br /><br />God, if this website is going to be devoting all its time criticizing a single stick figure webcomic day after day, then it shouldn't exist at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-87229742125356804542010-08-01T18:44:21.862-07:002010-08-01T18:44:21.862-07:00Rob is only saying that because I told him on IRC ...Rob is only saying that because I told him on IRC when that happened.<br /><br />Luckily I log this shit: http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=538<br /><br />See the author's bit at the bottom.Ann Apolishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08566528013026340201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-59584510570704005072010-08-01T15:59:13.354-07:002010-08-01T15:59:13.354-07:00also Sheldon did it after copying xkcd.also Sheldon did it after copying xkcd.Carlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074589998141327538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-53622023412260262052010-08-01T15:56:02.076-07:002010-08-01T15:56:02.076-07:00fun fact: there is precedent for webcomics people ...fun fact: there is precedent for webcomics people to apologize for accidentally stealing someone else's stuff (Questionable Content at one point apologized and changed some dialog)rshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-40781602043394475352010-08-01T15:54:14.733-07:002010-08-01T15:54:14.733-07:00yes, it's a problem because it shows that his ...yes, it's a problem because it shows that his ideas are really obvious, so obvious that other people have done them exactly this way. if it was an accident he should say so.

As I say in all these cases, if he CLAIMS that he thought of it on his own, I'll BELIEVE him. I have no EVIDENCE that he saw that episode of Robot Chicken. But what he ABSOLUTELY CANNOT do is ignore the SITUATION. All I ask for is a simple blog post - "Turns out a comic I drew was basically the same joke as a Robot Chicken sketch. THAT'S CRAZY! I had no idea when I made the comic that they had done it." Just an acknowledgement that these two things are too close to call. But he never, never, never has. Why not? It just makes it look like he's trying to DENY the PROBLEM for some reason."<br /><br />Grow up, Carl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-21858896085289382102010-08-01T02:12:03.954-07:002010-08-01T02:12:03.954-07:00Jeff = obvious troll.

The basic idea is to "win" an argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic."<br /><br />If the assmuption is that if Rob had a webcomic he would be more qualified to critique a webcomic. So maybe it's a reversal of an appeal to authority?<br /><br />However if the intent is to to distract him then it is a red herring.<br /><br />It's hard to say.<br /><br />http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-authority.html<br /><br />http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/red-herring.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-84230088504345369172010-07-31T13:22:49.209-07:002010-07-31T13:22:49.209-07:00Dear Jeff,

Lack of understanding of the purpose of criticism? Check. Inability to create a counter point to said criticism? Check. Blanket insult to the blog and everyone on it to make you feel like a big man? Check. "Where is your comic" line? Check. Pseudo Intellectual formatting to convince yourself you're smarter than everyone on here? Double Check! Failure to realize your exact argument has been debunked and posted on the left hand column for all to read? Check mate.<br /><br />PS: By your own rationale: How DARE Randal create a <i>Webcomic!</i> This reminds me of almost EVERY OTHER Webcomic on the internet that has a T-Shirt Store!
