one quick question. How can anyone win an argument whose premise is subjective at best?

I've proven that I can in the past!

[Victorian Squid]

There is no argument to be had here, though. Just the usual stating of an opinion or observation, followed by 3 pages of "wah, shut up!" from the peanut gallery.

Punchy follows me to about any comics thread and repeats the pattern almost every time.

It's your modesty that endears you to us... you know that, right?

There's no argument because you refuse to listen to anyone!

Listen, I know your underoos have been all bunchy since I mentioned I had a friend or two in the comics industry, but there is no argument to make that Marvel isn't gouging readers. Especially not from you, because really what knowledge can you bring to bear on the matter? Any?

The knowledge of commonsense.

And don't go bragging about friends in the industry, it's not endearing, you don't want to end up like SaturnKnight.

And knock it off on the age cracks, underoos, whatever, just because you're older doesn't mean your opinion is more valid.

You can't.

It's hard to see how an argument could be won on the internet where there's no ultimate arbiter to judge who won, anyway. Most people believe they won an argument, regardless of how wrong they were, it doesn't make it so.

This 'argument' consists mostly personal attacks, in any case.

That's the HoJ way, when he has no answer, he insults you.

Exactly, you've got nothing--nothing except "I don't care". Which is fine with me--but a person with commonsense [sic] such as yourself should have the good graces to remain silent on matters of no importance to him. Instead, you've tried to do what here?

Can someone go ahead and please spoil this for me already?

And what have you got? Pessimism and a sense of entitlement the size of Kansas.

You've yet to say anything that needs answering. You didn't have anything to begin except "I don't like your posts", basically.

I've asked you why the price point is such a big deal to you, all you've said is 'I'm an adult and you wouldn't understand because you're a tiny child'

And that's why we go in circles, for everyone's amusement--I've clearly stated here and elsewhere what my beef with the price increases are.

You know what? Fuck this noise. I'm not going to post in this thread until my review, and you can all see how enjoyable it is when pessimism is given free reign to suck all the joy away.
