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.

You Really Don't See It, Do You?

Glad for your experience. The rest of us have to go on what we experience. And, in its own context, without the rest of his body of work or history of posting or whatever, it doesn't look satirical at all.

I don't think of Ellis as a satirist; I think of him as a dramatist. I can take or leave him. You, on the other hand, are marking out big-time for him, and apparently can't see the problem that some of us see. Therefore, I regretfully suggest that we really can't continue this conversation on any intelligent level.

No. I am confused based on my history with one person here why he sees this differently than other things.

I honestly don't care what you think. I was just correcting things that aren't true.
