You do realize there is a page back button, yes?

That is not what I asserted.Spidrift wrote:Would you care to indicate any one point where the progression of time within the comic is seriously at variance with consistency or logic?
I did not advance the notion that the chronology flew in the face of logic, merely that the progression of such affords greater consideration to the development of the drama or serve comedic purpose than rigorous verisimilitude.

Re: 17-11-12 Under his jeans
I could check what you actually said in order to verify that, but as you deliberately make your posts difficult to read, I won't bother.
Which has nothing to do with the price of fish. One can't know what is said on a thread unless one reads the thread.GCRust wrote:You do realize there is a page back button, yes?

Under his jeans? Sounds like Lizzy Borden!
Came to me when I saw episode`s title for the first time, btw:
In the dark where you feel connected
Hide away from they you were rejected
Crumbling walls in there you won’t survive
When I touch you where you hurt
While I strip you alive
I wanna crawl down under your jeans
I wanna go where no one’s ever been
I wanna crawl down under your jeans
I wanna strip away the pain
Look at you you’re sick and self infected
Ain’t got a clue of who you see reflected
Empty eyes of vacant suffocating
Drowning in your vanity you’re disintegrating
Who you are is what I wanna be
So bizarre so insane
Where you are is where I wanna be
How we are is all in vain
I wanna crawl down under your jeans
I wanna get to where I’ve never been
I wanna crawl down under your jeans
I wanna lick away the pain
Now we are all the same
Now we are all the pain

Reading the thread is irrelevant when someone only wishes to share their two cents on a comic. No one should be forced to read through 14 pages just to make their own observations.Spidrift wrote: One can't know what is said on a thread unless one reads the thread.
Pointing out that you yourself made their observations pages ago is merely narcissistic. Once a topic goes beyond four or five pages, you can't expect everyone to sit through and read all that just to make their own observations. That's all I've been saying.

Not actually true. The forum has search functions, if you wanted to see what a particular poster said.Spidrift wrote:You certainly add to the post count. And the only way to see the thing you said is to read those twelve or thirteen pages of claptrap.
It was also possible to simply jump to the last page and happen to see GCRust's post.

in paper what you said is completely correct!!!!!!!!GCRust wrote:Reading the thread is irrelevant when someone only wishes to share their two cents on a comic.

but we also have to remember that the "same POV" was posted along with the statement that
it is kind of ambivalentMiddyshadow wrote:Of all the anger about Yuki throwing a very dangerous bell at someone's head, it seems the first panel has been missed somewhat... You know, where Sonya was about ten seconds from doing the same to Yuki with a Bass?
some people could say 1) "he is stating almost everyone missed this"
(which is what I took it as, as he wrote "somewhat") or they could say 2) "he thinks no one pointed it until he did"
spidrift chose to read it as option 2

Somewhat. But when, say, someone says "Has anybody noticed that ... ?", it hardly seems irrelevant to reply "Yes". I guess it depends whether you expect these boards to be a conversation or mere venting.GCRust wrote:Pointing out that you yourself made their observations pages ago is merely narcissistic.
(In this case, to be sure, the answer to that question was merely "Yes, one person". Unfortunately, the answer is so often "Yes, several people", possibly "Yes, dozens of people, you're not being especially smart", and sometimes "Yes, the question has been dragged out in several threads, beaten to death, mentioned in at least three sig blocks, memorialised in stone, and answered to everyone's satisfaction, and now merely mentioning it makes Don cry". So some of us have a bit of a bias in favour of reading the damn boards before posting to them.)
