[net.comics] Nick's article on adams

Come on... Scott Adams may not be the best of video games or adventure
games... so what???  You don't have to go blowing your own diminuative
horn nick... playing a lot of video games doesn't give you an automatic
expertise in the field, or even the credit of having a reasonable amount
of intelligence... sure,if you ever had an idea worth stealing, marvel
or dc probably would, but i doubt that you ever had one worth stealing to
begin with...
It sort of angers me to see snotty-nosed hippocrites who come out for the
sole purpose of diminishing someone else's work even though they don't 
have a thing to offer themselves... Critics i can tolerate - at least most
critics don't have any pretentions of adequacy in the fields themselves.
It's the people who profess to be better than what they're critisizing
without anything to prove it that get my goat...
