I collected the original SWAMP THING as a kid. Grew out of comics and put them all away in a box. Then years later, when I was in college, I was at a supermarket and saw the first Alan Moore SWAMP THING in a comic rack. For whatever reason I bought it. What a revelation! Comics weren't just for kids any more! I collected everything Moore wrote for years after that, along with Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison. I stopped buying when I felt like the freedom to deal with adult content had led to a lot of sensationalized crap without any real story and craft. Who knows, maybe I'm missing something equally wonderful?

Thanks for giving Alan Moore's SWAMP THING its due.

= notorious Salon letters troll. Formerly known as ~~~~, steaming sledgehammer of hate, beagle of doom (?) - his other numerous handles escape me at the moment but his writing style is as obvious as a reeking, spoiled fish left to rot in an outdoor garbage can in the height of summer. Also known as "I blame the Jews" troll.

I really wish he would go. Away. But until then, set phasers to ignore.

What, American Fascist? Did you already get banned under Rainbow Swastika?

You know, this behavior of yours crosses the line from simple trolling to full-fledged mental illness. Please consider counseling.

= Rainbow Swastika = Steaming sledgehammers of hate = Beagles of Doom = Chicken Rangoon = ~~~~~ = numerous others that I've forgotten.

He is a sick little piece of sh** and a bad writer to boot.

Which part? Your multiple handles or that you're a lousy writer?

If you want to make your little game less obvious, you're going to have to ditch some of your more tired catchphrases and your parody of anti-Semitism. You could, I don't know, try making an actual argument now and again instead of the poo-flinging that is your unmistakable signature.

I won't hold my breath.

He articulated what I could not put into words.

This is heart-breaking.
