I didn't call out abhi, he injected himself into the discussion after I brought posters who're currently being missed.And I know I'm a fanboy, but I seriously disagree about being as bad as others. In fact, I actually won an award one time as being the most reasonable fanboy(along with a whole slew of other awards) so I'd say I'm pretty "centrist" when it comes to actually evaluating evidence. Not in my personal preference of comics(which I have no problem admiting I USED to favor Marvel before they got stupid and I basically gave up on the whole genre), but when in regards to actually debating I do a pretty damn good job of giving the other side their due.
About as bad as others - compared to somebody like quanchi? Sure, you're not. But he's not even a 'poster'. He is not debating at all - he is just trolling and trying to get a rise out of people. 80% of the forum has him on ignore. Compared to somebody like abhi? No. The only difference is that he is more aggressive [they grow up so fast!] but in terms of facts and knowledge, you'd be hard pressed to find him empty handed.
But that's just my opinion. It doesn't mean anything. There are Superman fans who dislike abhi, too. Some would like him to be more tempered, but it's not his fault that the characters he is supporting have the feats to beat the shit out of others. I have Thor fans that I like [Damborg], Hulk fans that I like [Psycho], Thanos/Surfer fans that I like[d] [Bran]. Superman fans that I dislike [h1] etc. We all have our preferences, and 'sides'. It's a waste of time to circlejerk as 'centrists' with forum medals and stay on the imaginary high horse to make up non-existent double standards. There are only biases, and how well we argue them. Let's not bullshit ourselves.
Calling out mods for bias, when carver, quanchi and a slew of others are still on the forum, more than a decade later, is just bitter as f*ck. It's not the 'Superman side''s fault that Thor/Surfer/Hulk side has lost the long run battle on the forum. Trying to scratch back at them won't change that.
