So a lot of you are wondering, who the heck is this guy. Some of you are probably saying, "Yes, he's back!", and a few are groaning and hoping this is all a bad dream. My name is Emerald Archer, and I use to be a rabid comic book collector. I also use to be a Mod here at the CBC forum. 6...

A true great I had the pleasure many years ago of corresponding with Gene. He was a genuine talent. He, like Gil Kane, influenced multitudes of future comic visionaries. He will be missed.

The Long Road Thanks Ed, It's been a heck of an 18 month stretch. The nicest news is that I currently work for Time Warner, and you know who they are the parent company of:) I hope to play some small role here, perhaps doing the occasional review, and holding forth on the comings and...

Seems that I've been here before, but it's OYL and I've been missing from Gotham, who wants to fill me in? EA

Hello to all of you. It's been a blast, a great 3 years that I have been here with you. Without a doubt you are some of the finest, sharpest, and most insightful Comic Book Fans on the net. But the time has come for me to leave you all. In Hollywood they say it's because of "Creative...

Man, I'm arrogant. I was trying more for pompas.............. EA

Shot across the bow Yeah Geez Ace you got me dead to rights, I was advocating theft in that message.......It's right there where I say that I personally went out an stole the entire collection off a web site........and then I gave the name of he website where people could go and download said...

Any Friend on the battlefield is a friend............ Whats the old Muslim saying?

Hip Hip Horray DarkWarner is now my hero! Well at least a few of us get it. EA

Excuse me I have given arguments, and every arguemnt I present is never sufficient. I then asked someone to produce a logical argument for a Moral Rape, I have yet to see one. What I got was "Well just because no one can come up with an argument doesn't mean that it can't be so" or words to...

I'm done It's would seem this argument is going no where. One last time, Morality is an absolute. According to every major religion, and belief set it is an absolute, it may be the only thing that the 3 great religions of the world find total agreement with. I feel some comfort in that...

My assumption then would be that you can't justify a Moral Rape. So their are indeed moral absolutes! EA

Watson, Come Here! OK, so we have agreement that their are SOME moral absolutes! So if some moral beliefs are abosolute, how can others be relative? Here is the diefinition of Morals for those who are interested. adj. Of or concerned with the judgment of the goodness or badness of...

Lol Your right, I can't consider the opposing argument because it makes no sense to me. How can moral relativity be right? It's OK to murder if I can justify it to myself? It's OK to Rape if I can justify it to myself? Please, educate me. Present a case for a Moral Rape? EA

Ok, Morals are not flexible, they never have been they never will be, and no matter how much you may wish that was the case, it just doesn't work that way. I'll be over to your house tonight to take your wide screen TV. I need it more than you do, and morally I can justify it, since it's all...
