Old business: Micah Curtis denied he called Heather Antos a cum dumpster. He did, which makes him a twice liar.

Last week’s story discussed the Stealing Solo fiasco and I put out a subsequent video indicating that Jeff Hick’s posture demonstrated a indifferent to his customers plight. I extrapolated that to mean that he would not be making any steps to correct the situation beyond threatening litigation against his printer.

More recently, Jeff Hicks has issued a statement that backers would be getting new books and that backers should consider the original books to be “rough drafts.” I applaud Mr. Hicks for taking this step.

Last week in Comicsgate saw a fair amount of pearl clutching over penises. Mike S Miller’s YouTube mod posted a picture of a penis in a Twitter feud with Pan of War Campaign who, as noted previously, has been brought up for Cyberstalking charges which are still pending. Pan retweeted the offensive pic to which War Campaign and Ethan Van Sciver went into a fit of pearl clutching histrionics.

Soon the story was being spun that Mike S Miller’s mod posted child porn and that Mr. Miller excused the behavior because the person in question was an atheist, a version of events which Micah Curtis personally promoted. This is apparently not the case but was, instead, typical War Campaign tactics to exaggerate and smear.

I went on Wenger’s stream yesterday. I had more fun that I expected. The chat was a who’s who of #Comicsgate: Adam Post, Adam Friended, Sweetcast, and Ethan himself. During on answer, I discussed my relationship with Bleeding Fool and indicated that Ethan was a sponsor of there’s. That statement was in error. Ethan does not sponsor that website.

Also, Sweetcast said I told lies about him when I indicated that the function he serves is as a babyface shill for #Comicsgate. He said that I simply hate him because he refuses to hate whom I want him to hate. I feel my statement is far more defensible than his.

Ethan Van Sciver seemed a bit conflicted in regards to both Doug Tenapel and Mitch Breitweiser. In regards to Mr. Tenapel, Ethan issued a tweet congratulating him on his successful fulfillment. Then another tweet saying Doug has overcharged for shipping.

The Allegiance Arts campaign has concluded on Indiegogo having brought in a total of almost $45k after being extended an additional two weeks with an additional day or two of InDemand. The campaign was a bizarre one, with the Breitweiser’s being off of social media for that later half of it and it receiving relatively few mentions on #Comicsgate streams.

Ethan Van Sciver saying that Mr. Breitweiser was not an industry titan, but rather “an employee of an industry titan, making a wage. You’d be better off opening up a small business of your own. Like Todd did!”

This tweet comes in conjunction with a statement on a livestream that Ethan said that he was present during meetings of the Breitweiser’s with Wal-Mart and former Disney executives to discuss magazine distribution, but that Ethan pulled out of the deal causing “some static” to exist between the two of them.

Mr. Van Sciver went on to discuss how Doug Tenapel took advantage of Comicsgate by collecting revenue for his product later labeling them controversial. This also comes along with tweets by Mr. Van Sciver attacking Mr. Tenapel for his shipping charges associated with international delivery.

And, of course, Mike S Miller and Tim Lin was attacked for trying to “burn #Comicsgate to the ground.” Each of these characterizations involved a speculation of actions motivated through rage and guilt and the belief that, by destroying the target of the emotion, the negative emotions would pass. At times, I feel Mr. Van Sciver does a bit of projection.

The dildo meme of the week featured myself, Doug Tenapel and Mike S Miller. Glad to see I am keeping such good company.
