I assume he’s joking that a lot of people stay in dark, unnoticeable corners on the internet.

For what it’s worth, the joke was pretty funny. After a while though, Griddles has been tossed around in the court of public opinion for years. I know he’s an easy target and all, but I don’t know. Seemed like you initially said “At first I agreed with you, then I realized you were someone I didn’t like so now I suddenly don’t agree anymore.” Once again for what it’s worth, Griddles is probably aware of the irony of his post. Doesn’t make him any less right, does it? :0

Well, he is still around regardless, but what he’s done, or been convicted of doing, admitted to doing, and things that have been said about him that he hasn’t actually done as well as the things he “has” done and have apologized for are very tiring to go on about. You don’t even “know” the guy. He’s done nothing to you as far as I know. In my opinion, if you just put the hate down for a minute and try to know your “enemy” you might find that they’re not such bad people. This stuff has been around for over half a decade, nothing is going to be proven here in a random corner of the internet over a thousand days later. Before you go on a tirade about what you think you know about him, or what he’s done, let it always be known that if you limit yourself to one side of a discussion, no matter how minor or major, you’re never getting the full picture. I respect your opinion of him, and of what you “assume” he stands for, because of what you think he stands for is a terrible thing, but I cannot respect baseless hate. At least attempt to get a grander grasp of the situation before completely abandoning him as a person to do nothing but shitpost, or as you suggested, “Put him someplace the sun never shines.” Just think about it.

Maybe. But until then, he’s good at holding a conversation, more or less understanding and empathetic to others’ points of view (Sometimes) and generally heralded GT during its golden age when everyone loved it. Whatever he may or may not have done has nothing to do with me, you, or the comics he works on. If you want to run him out of town with torches and pitchforks without even getting to know the guy, ya might as well be running a witch hunt, seeing as how all of your information came second hand instead of from the horse’s mouth. As for why I’m “defending” him, it’s as simple as me thinking he’s an okay guy who fell into a very bad situation and made no less than 1 very bad choice in his life. I’d rather have him writing GT than Nek at the very least. But, as I said, talking about this gets very tiring after a while. If, by some crazy chance you want to talk about this in depth without any bias from me, look me up on skype if you’re so inclined. Or not, either way I think we’ve both said what we want to say.

I have principals too, but they are mostly about forgiveness and the ability to move on from one’s past mistakes. We don’t all share the same morals, however. You hold onto your faith, and I mine.
