Apparently, rampant censorship doesn't apply to comics

[rowyn]

Non Sequitor often goes off on how worthless and biased the media has become (pro-industrialist, pro-government, pro-Republican). In his strips, anyone in the media who points this out is inevitably silenced or fired.

It amuses me that he is published in the same rampantly-censoring-of-liberals environment.

I guess he figures no one pays enough attention to the funny pages to censor them. :D

Nowhere in my post did I say "Wiley is a total nutcase! How could he be SO WRONG!?!?!?!?!?!" I am not sure where I "seem to assert" this, but it is not my point.

I am only saying that I find it amusing that he complains repeatedly about the censorship of his point of view in the very media that he says is censoring it. That doesn't mean he has no point. Only that the irony amuses me.

I am sorry that it does not amuse you.

I wonder how it is that the person thinks his/her identity would cause you to dismiss the writer out of hand? Most peculiar. They could be Kerry, or Bush, or the reincarnation of Karl Marx -- and the statements would say what they say.

As wrong as the writer is about that aspect, it is unsurprising that the other statements about you are similarly wrong. The writer does not know you -- and would benefit immensely by correcting that deficit.

I wish I could be as sanguine about your end of that bargain.

Best wishes, Lady Rowyn. And thanks for the link.

I found that very puzzling, too. There is no one whose name would cause me to assign less credibility than I would to an anonymous statement. "Anonymous" is bottom of the barrel as far as attention/concern/credibility goes -- especially since, on LJ, an anonymous poster almost certainly won't see any reply I make. Obviously, that doesn't mean I'm going to disregard any comment left anonymously ... but I'm not going to take it more seriously just because I don't know who's behind it.

In any case, thank you for your kind words, sir.
