And it is fact based upon the evidence that I saw. your opinion of the evidence does not hold sway over something being the truth or not. That is what you gotta know. you aren't that important to call the truth as how I see it. I presented the facts as I saw them, now it's up to others to decide if that truth is acceptible for them. I notice you are the only one who's disagreed with my assesment. Further proof that you really are trying to hammer a square peg into a triangle hole
No, it's an opinion based on what you want to be true. If it were a fact, you would be able to prove it. BTW,It's funny how you seem to be reading and responding to my posts when I'm supposed to be on ignore.
Seems you can't even keep your word, there is a word for people like that but I don't want to be accused of insulting you again for merely stating another fact.

I'm reading what you are saying becuz Cresh came in and I wanted to see what your rebuttle to him would be. Dont' think so highly of yourself. You cannot prove that marvel Didn't make him say it. Hell you dont even have the mountain of evidence that I have to form my conclusion. you really are just looking for a way to be a cool kid. No one is biting. As you can tell. maybe quan or air. the same people i argue with all of the time. If someone says, Bush is lying about weapons of mass destruction and he always knew there where none, would you say that was a true assessment? could they prove it based upon evidence? with in reasonable doubt as bush would never admit that out of his own mouth.

And its still insulting them. You can try to justify your insults all you like. Just Like Air legend insisting that calling Nvr a Baboon wasn't an insult. It's still an insult even if you falsely call it a fact.
Calling someone a Baboon when they're not one is an insult, calling someone that lied a 'liar' isn't an insult, it's a statement of fact.
Originally posted by Silent MasterI could call you a troll right now because you're trolling. That's a fact if you choose to believe it or not, but that's EXACTLY what you're doing.

Why would you insult someone and then try to deny it by falsely calling the insult a fact?
Originally posted by Silent MasterCalling someone a name that's not flattering or that they feel offended by is an insult. regardless of if it's a fact or not.

No, what I'm doing is not letting someone lie and get away with it.

I"m not treating him with 'insolence, indignity, or contempt'.

Dan Jurgens:This is a perfect example of why I don't make it a habit to frequent these boards. Any implication that I'm backtracking here to cover my behind is wrong.
I meant only to clarify a statement. I do not believe Superman is a million times stronger than Thor. I do not see how anyone in their right mind could think so.
Rich has stated he didn't hear me laughing. I do not have a copy of the tape. To the best of my recollection we were at a point in the conversation with a bit of banter that was going back and forth, in an amused sort of way, and that's something that simply does not translate to "print".
I ask that you accept that explanation at face value and thank you not to imply anything other.

Here Dan talks about how AFTER NUMBEROUS EMAILS he feels the need to clarify. not before hand mind you
After numerous e-mails from friends pointing to a minor firestorm of sorts regarding my comments relating to the power levels of Thor and Superman, I thought some clarity might help.
Yes, in the exchange, I was asked if Superman was a million times more powerful than Thor. I said yes.
I also chuckled as I said it, a very important part of the response that did not translate into print. I don't blame Rich as he gave me the chance to edit the interview. Quite frankly, it never occurred to me that anyone would seriously think that statement was an accurate representation of my belief on the matter.
So... we screwed up.
Superman is NOT a million times more powerful than Thor. In my book, he is probably not even twice as powerful as Thor. Superman has more expansive powers than Thor, IMO, thanks to his vision powers, etc.
I also think they fight quite differently. Thor tends to be more of a brawny reactionary type, while Superman probably fights with a more strategic approach. Thor is more likely to cut loose with the full measure of his powers as he does not have the "dampers" on that power that Superman was raised with. Both qualities can be an advantage or disadvantage, depending on the circumstances.
If they fought ten times, neither would win all ten, or even seven, eight or nine battles, for that matter. Not anymore than the Miami Dolphins would beat the Jets ten games out of ten.
I apologize for any confusion.

RC,
>
> I have no reason not to believe you when you say that Dan didn't laugh during the interview. But sort of thing happens all the time with creators. And if just goes to show that Dan is right there with the rest of them. They say one thing, but when taken to task too much by the fans, they back track. Just like I told you that on the old AOL boards both Dan AND Tom said that they thought Thor was stronger but that Supes had the edge because of his speed and vision powers.
>
> Now, I don't know whether or not a creator is blowing smoke or giving a sincere opinion or has a mad on for fans. But these are the whims that creators are able to execute because of their positions and it's making the books unreadable. I don't know why they just don't say with each new creator there is a new continuity and throw all the old stuff away.>.
For anyone who is looking at my evidence that i provided, notice how dan says in one sentence he doesn't blame rich as rich provided him three opportunities to edit the interview and yet dan goes on to say We... screwed up. there you go folks. Absolutely astonishing that no one can tell this guy is back tracking due to pressure. He in one sentence clears rich of wrong doing, becuz to lie on rich would subject him to a law suit, but in the next sentence, puts the blame on both of them, something only marvel would have wanted him to do. I rest my case.
Also notice how Dan says
I do not believe Superman is a million times stronger than Thor. I do not see how anyone in their right mind could think so.
Why would he edit something that he never thought people would take seriously? Once he realized people were doing so, he clarified the comment.

Odin. I do believe he's more powerful.

I'm not sure of the exact question. Sorry.

Hmm...tough one, though I'd probably side with the Odinforce.

We are talking about the Odin FORCE vs. the Omega EFFECT. He had a tough time deciding. And the Omega Wrealm>>>>>Omega Force>>>>>Omega>>>>>>>>>>Omega Effect>>>>Omega beams. for the record.
Not that has anything to do with anything that was mentioned in this thread at your attempt to troll and bait. I read the interview a hudnred times before in research. You bring nothing new to the light.
