Pointless feud showing that the internet is still full of dumb

Scott McCloud has been one of the few people who have done print comics to switch over to webcoimics, and in doing so, he's spent a LOT of time thinking and writing about what comics can be. I find a lot of it to be endless navel gazing, but he DOES talk a lot about how comics can be more than they are. He has actually DONE comics that moved the form forward (like Zot! and The Adventures of Abraham Lincoln).

He is taking part in a movie about webcomics that DARED not to mention gamer comics that cater to people who play a lot of Halo. So he got flamed.

And the internets goes wild.

Rest of the world yawns and wonders what the hell these people are doing. They typical suspects all chime in, say what they are expected to say and people go on for pages. It's a car wreck. And in the end, the people who make make money with jokes about the new Playstation video game hate the people who have gone outside and breathed fresh air.
