Well as I said before, I apologize and I understand exactly. Though I do want to add that in my defence, I immediately admitted that it was a bluff. While I shouldn't have done so in the first place, at least I didn't try to argue stupidly. I wasn't trying to chastize you, but rather perhaps point out something you might not be seeing in your posts. Again, do with it what you will.

I admitted my bluff when next I viewed the thread, and the instant I saw what had happened. Immediately therefore is a word that springs to mind, in that I admitted I IMMEDIATELY after I was aware it had been called. That was what I intended to say- I apologize again for failing to lay out my sentence structure in what you felt was the appropriate form.
Again, we seem to have different definitions of 'accuracy'. I consider accuracy to be perfect or close thereof, you apparantly consider it to be 100% certainly without doubt absoloutely to the last detail correct. Bluffing is, I grant you, deception, however while 'deception' implies there was malicious intent, bluffing does not necessarily. I did not lie in that sentence, what I said was in fact correct. I did not provide context but nor was I asked to (before I stated it) Indeed, nor did I say that Reed stated the quote with malicious intent or simply as an insult- I simply correctly reported that he did indeed state it.

I have no problem with welcoming ol' Bill, Ultron; meanwhile, I suspect George W. Bush would be more of a Bendis fan...

It looks like I've been away from this topic for too long Agree with Doug's last post. More in general, quotes should be used wisely on the internet, possibly explaining the context as well, otherwise they could become misleading.

As I agree completely. And, just for the record, I apologize again. I regarded it as an extremely trivial joke. Apparantly others did not view it as such and for that I really do apologize. Don't be ridiculous, Bush couldn't be a Bendis fan. That would entail reading long strings of text. Bush is a fan of whoever gives him the prettiest pictures

Bush is a fan of whoever gives him the prettiest pictures Long strings of text? ;D Shakespeare has long string of text. Thus Spoke Zarathustra has long strings of text. Milton's Paradise lost has long string of text. Emanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason has long strings of text. BENDIS? More like: - Yep. - Yeah. - Really? - But... - Ok... - Maybe... - Hmmm... - Perhaps... - I guess! - What? - Nevermind...! Never even seen such monochordic, monosylabic, entediating, simpleton dialogue in my whole life, even in Comics, and admitedly some of them get pretty simple.

Yes, Ultron, we live in a topsy-curvy world.... maybe in saner realities Bendis writes The "Marvel Adventures" Avengers....

Ultron: I know. That's exactly what I meant- a long string of text. Just happens to run vertically. Still way too many words for Mister President.

That was what I intended to say- I apologize again for failing to lay out my sentence structure in what you felt was the appropriate form. It’s not sentence structure; it’s omission (if the intent is preëxisting). Indeed.Black is white, freedom is slavery, etc. …to give a false appearance “because it works in arguments like these”. I sincerely hope I can prove henceforth that I can in fact be trusted when I report things. Thank you. You have since given a thorough demonstration of the depth of your commitment to trustworthiness.
An allegedly reliable spoiler regarding the resolution of the married-Spider-Man “problem” has been posted at Silver Bullet Comic Books (you’ll need to view the image in the first item). ITEM! You may have seen that throughout the most recent edition of New Joe Fridays, Quesada has embarked on a misinformation-based mission of damage control. Was the spoiler too close to the truth?

looks like Alan Davis to me... and at the end of the column Joe Q makes reference to a project titled Fantastic Four The End -I'm guessing that's where the art comes from.
