Or you could just answer the question. Dunno him, not that much interest in him.

Guess it will stay that way.

Being a minor name writer outside of comics doesn't mean his name meant shit to comics fans before he started writing comics. He's not George Martin or Stephen King or anything. And while he may have no issues making money (I have no idea if it turns a profit or not) with his publishing company that produces books that sell a few thousand copies, he's far from a huge name in the publishing industry and his company may be profitable but it's still small and hasn't published a book in a couple of years apparently.

So to say that he will be fine without comics is fine. But if you are implying he's some big name guy that was a big name to comics fans before he wrote any comics is silly.

Chris Roberson is pretty definitely a bigger name outside of comics than inside.
The witness said Mr Brown then called out to Ms Hay's adult daughter: "Look at this, I'm tittie-f***ing your mother!".

Squid intellectuals like me and you might know about Roberson's past, but there's no need to be a thundercunt to people who aren't as mentally able as us!

I wish Chris the best. Stances like this are very admirable!

So bender made a vague unsupported accusation. Ironically a staple of bender himself rather than any one member of the OH.
