I am removing myself from any mailing lists or communities that deal with Warren Ellis

[docwebster]

Why, you might ask?

Because of this entry, wherein he states:

"“Cigarettes are my food,” said Frank Zappa. And then he died of testicular cancer. Which came as no surprise to anyone who’d heard him wanking in recording studios for thirty years, but still. Anyone who names his kid Moon Unit is plainly asking for his balls to rot off. Because there is such a thing as karma. Welcome to the concept of universal payback."

Fuck off, Warren.

Hey, I've thought he was an asshole (if a genius asshole) for a long time now. Add this to his wishing air strikes on the people in London watching Live 8 and you have, in my opinion, a real jerk at best. He may be a genius writer, but his attitude spells me not wanting to read his bile. God bless ya if you do, knock yourself not. It just ain't for me.

Actually having MET the man he is the nicest gentlest person you could ever hope to meet. His persona online... it's a joke. It's tongue FIRMLY in cheek.

I mean if you can't see that or apprciate it, that's cool man, it just doesn't seem like you at all.

*shrug* So maybe I'll go back later and see what he's got to say. For the record, I even sent him an email of condolence when his mother passed away. So neener on you.

Not neener on either of us man. See my reply below for my confusion.
