No, you're right. I was being a creep. I tend to go way overboard a lot of the time and end offending people who did nothing wrong. I also tend to see attacks against things I like as an personal attack and sometimes forget that I'm dealing with another human being. I know you probably won't forgive me right away, but I am sorry. What I did was shameful and apologize. Sorry is a start if you mean it. I admit I went overboard the other night with the names too and I don't enjoy fighting with people but when I saw you had mentioned me on multiple threads it upset me so I went off. I would rather not argue with you anymore. I think the other members would rather we don't too. We are both grown adults and constant insults on back and forth are meaningless and time consuming. It is better to just agree than disagree on thing we don't agree with 'cause we are all different and don't always have the same opinions. Contrary to what some might believe I don't hate men or Gen Y men for that matter. I have a lot of male friends and am close to my Uncle. I have just had some bad experiences online with some sexist comic book on boards who just hate on us for being women and think we want to take over the whole genre. We don't. Like you I am a comic book fan and want to see more female comic book characters with their own movies. That is all. On top of that there are all these homophobes attacking us and constantly writig hateful things about us online with the postal plebercite coming up here which is upsetting me and it doesn't take a lot for me to snap after that. Sometimes I just want to cry. I am not a die hard DC or Marvel. There are a number of names I like in both companies and I am a fan of Image and Dynamite.

Or good, evil and selfish all part of the human nature ? ah, an age old question. I like Mengzi (Confucian follower 300s BCE) who said that people have innate benevolence because if someone sees a child about to fall into a well, they would instinctively try to save the child. We all have, he observed the seeds of goodness naturally, but we have to tend them.

well…. am I right to think that the exchange between Weirdraptor and DebLovesBec was a well executed experiment promoting thought process on the OPs question?

The "you drove me to it" comment was what made me rethink how I was doing. I can be a big jerk, I have an ego, and I can be petty. Unfortunately. Don't leave again, please.

Since you reported me? Ummm…I didn’t receive a single warning about you reporting me and let me get this right you waited until I deleted my account before you come on here and wrote this so you could try to swoop in and make yourself out to be the big man when the reality is you are a spineless pathetic worm and just to prove this I am going to ask the Admin and the moderators who are reading this to come on this thread now and tell everybody if I got a warning for WeirdRaptor reporting me. The only report against you I see is this post, which was reported because he apparently thinks thought had created a new account after being banned, which you weren't. If there have been other reports filed about your posts, they must have been frivolous enough to be summarily dismissed, deleted, and forgotten. On a personal note, I was sorry to see that you had deleted your account, but I'm glad you came back and I hope you stay. - John

At one point or another, I think people can be all three.

I think most people's first instinct is selfish, then good, then evil.

Once, I was on a tour bus that was going to be driving around for over 12 hours (with lots of stops along the way including for meals, etc). The seats could be reserved once we'd been seated, so I showed up 90 minutes early so that I could get a good seat. I knew it would be possible to get one two-seat section towards the back of the bus by myself since the bus wasn't going to be full. So I got a two-seat position a few seats from the very back of the bus and settled in. I was happy to have such a comfortable situation for the whole 12 hours or more. Then... Shortly before the bus left, a couple came on board and they wanted my two-seater so that they could sit together. There were still empty aisle seats closer to the front of the bus so I could have found another seat. I didn't know what to say, but I was thinking, "I got here early, early, early so that I could be comfortable all day. If you guys really wanted to sit together, you should have gotten here early, too, rather than waiting to get here until the bus was ready to leave." Instead, I just wasn't willing to move and I kept my comfortable situation. They found aisle seats (one in front of the other) and they held hands constantly - every single minute - until a couple of people a few hours later changed seats with them. Then they stopped holding hands. I felt guilty about not giving up my seats, but I felt like I'd earned the comfort by showing up 90 minutes early for the bus tour so that I could be sure to be one of the first people on the bus - and I situated myself near the back of the bus, so it wouldn't be considered ideal for most other people. I still felt guilty about it because I knew it was selfish to keep my seats, but the 12 hour ride was unbelievably better in a place where I could sit any way I liked and put my stuff on the seat next to me.

Once, I was on a tour bus that was going to be driving around for over 12 hours (with lots of stops along the way including for meals, etc). … I still felt guilty about it because I knew it was selfish to keep my seats, but the 12 hour ride was unbelievably better in a place where I could sit any way I liked and put my stuff on the seat next to me. nice story. I know the feeling. I often fly alone to places, usually on very long flights, and have been asked multiple times to give up my seat so someone could sit next to someone else they knew. I usually have no problem with it, when its isle for isle or window, but trading an isle seat for a middle seat on a 12 hour flight is a HUGE step down re comfort. The last time this happened I was asked by what seemed to be a 100 year old lady so she could sit next to her 100 year old husband. I refused. 30 seconds later the guilt was just unbearable so I changed my decision and gave up my seat. The universe "rewarded me" by seating me next to an extremely interesting couple and now get this: I was flying home (USA) from Dubai I think. I was just moving to a new part of town (Brooklyn) in New York and was somewhat worried about the area I was moving to. The couple next to me turned out not only living in the same area but actually lived (for almost 30 years) on the Very Same street I was moving onto. What are the odds, right? They gave me lots of good tips and in the end we became quite friendly and made my move here much more pleasant. Sometimes things have a way of working out.
