it goes like this.... in the end you know, whatever, this would take forever to gather, you can't read everything together later at the Preserving posts, this is the condensed action sequence of events.

Stop the presses, thanks God and Pants to Be Darkened, finally Linkara is back ! A little out of shape but BACK nonetheless.Where have you being for so long ?
That Landlord of yours, Lewis...?Lewis...??Lewis...??? Huey Lewis ? Nice guy but terrible reviewer, i have no idea where did you get this kind of guy. He even let Mechakara do it a Miller Time once. Go figured.
Is nice to see again a mature man who will not compromise his critic values to bend his opinion in favor of the masses.
Well done review ? Probably, i don't care that much for comic books made under the Age of Stupidity except for the few that stand above the crap like Frank Miller, Garth Ennis, Howard Chaykin, Brian Michael Bendis, Joe Quesada, Jeph Loeb, etc... you already know most of the wasted ink and colored toilet paper comes from DC Comics, nothing new on that.
Thanks God again for Frank take back Holy Terror from those morons and publish that independently, imagine what that could had been if they keep forced Frank into do it another Batman story ?
Didn't we had Goddamn exploitation enough ? Its about time for the world know a new superhero like The Fixer, fresh and new from the printer.
Anyway, i hope you don't leave us so soon, the schedule must come back on track, there are a lot of work to be done, tons of stories that should never to be told waiting to be exposed at the George Foreman's Fried Chicken Spotlight of Doom (basically a big laser able to fried things and remove all saturated fats at the same time, you only need to use a 1.21 Gigawatts powercell to operate the thing but i guess the Comicron 1 reactor should do this job just fine, just don't forget to apply sun block fator 60 or higher on everything inside the room including you, ask Doctor Insano if you have any doubts - Its all SCIENCE !).
Anyway, thank you for coming back and deliver a job well done, that Lewis LordFog guy was giving me chills and i live in a place where never snows, the average temperature never goes below 69° Fahrenheit and this summer maybe goes closer to 104° F, is not Hell on Earth but makes me sweat a lot.
Sun block anyone ?

Dear CaptainCalvinCat
"Tschüssikowski" ??? It's that Deustch ? Because i don't speak Deustch or Russian either, i can speak Douche but people say i have a pretentious accent.
And i have a new theory about Mr. Lovhaug most recent behavior and Linkara coming back in character :
"LEWIS LOVHAUG IS IN LOVE !!!" DUM-DUM-DUUUUMMMM (add surprise, shock and awe here), that's the only explanation for why he has been so nice, so in focus with his own work, so... you know... pro-active.
Like Shakespeare in that Gwyneth Paltrow movie where that dude plays as Queen Elizabeth the first, i suspect he is Jude Law's father because they have the same first name.
And how Alan Shore would deal with Wonder Woman ? Check that movie "Secretary", is basically a Batman Begins prequel and if Maggie Gyllenhaal's character were for once called Diana you would achieve the same result.
Anyway, so i am a nice guy again after all, well i will probably became sentimental - back when i was old.

Lewis Lovhaug said...
Oh for the love of crap, Sake...
There is no "return" of my character or me personally.
*I* have been writing reviews exactly the same way as I did now as I did when I started. My editing process has improved, my timing has improved, but none of these things were changes that occurred within the last few episodes.
If you don't like an episode, if you didn't think it was funny, just friggin' SAY THAT. I am tired of sparring with you about your posting style and I am tired of reading through your drivel about who I am. You don't post critiques, you post nonsense. And then you go and make a second account pretending to be someone else when it is most clearly you. You criticize what hours of the day I spend *MY* life and go off on random tangents instead of just posting like anyone else around here. You'll notice I don't penalize CalvinCat when he says he doesn't think the Wonder Woman pilot is all that bad. You know why? Because his posts make sense and he's simply expressing a dissenting opinion.
And you STILL post in comments that I have to reject because they have nothing to do with anything. I have warned you REPEATEDLY to knock it off. I have allowed posts through that I could barely get through just because I didn't feel like arguing. I have been exemplary in my patience and I have had enough.
Sake Mangusto, every post you make from now on will be rejected. Completely. You may continue to make posts at your discretion if you wish, but until such time as I feel you are capable of staying on topic, of actually articulating your thoughts be they in agreement or dissenting, nothing you post will go through. Yes, even though you have already used up previous chances, I am going to give you another one, but don't expect much leniency on this because I have reached my breaking point.
Good day.

CaptainCalvinCat said...
"Tschüssikowski" ??? It's that Deustch ?
No, it is Deutsch. ^^ Hard to write the original word, with the letters in the right order, I can understand that. I couldn`t write the puerto rican name for the puerto-rican language either.
By the way, Lewis, is there such a word as “minnesotarian accent” or does one say “the accent of Minnesota”?
@ Lewis:
“There is no "return" of my character or me personally.”
Well, there are actually some hints, that the character of Linkara had a bit changed and now is “back” – and, honestly, you cannot blame him for thinking that, when you take into consideration the twists and changes the character went through. I mean – series-wise it would make a hell lot of sense, because of all the “pollo-is-downloaded-somewhere”-Stuff, that you probably will adress to in a few weeks.
If this month is completely unrelated to the overall plot, then Sake exaggerated, but plot-wise … okay, in reality, there is such thing as “own opinion”, and when I fail to find the Top 15-Jokes funny, or cannot agree with you on Wondy, that is my own opinion – maybe you should borrow the sentence from SFDebris “I am just a comic-reader with an oppinion”. ^^
No, I am kidding.
Lewis, I don’t want to beat around the bush – I think, you are doing a great job, and there might be some minor things, where I say “that is not my view”, but mostly it is.
There is one thing, I am a bit disappointed, although that is a too strong word… I think, the reviews of Blackest Night and Brightest Day would be a field day.
But, I know too, that these comics will be reviewed, IF they will be reviewed , in – dunno… at least not now.
But – I am looking forward at the new critique next Monday. Sounds like… something headscratching, eh? ^^
By the way, did you get my E-Mail?

Oh, absolutely not, man! If I were in your place I would've banned him the very first time he said something meaningless and stupid. Keep that ban ironclad and airtight, and don't let his alternate personalities, like the corrupt preacher who apparently built a chruch on reviewing reviewers, slip in either. Because he isn't just annoying you, he's annoying the universe at large.

Please, not that absolute. I for my part find him rather amusing at best, but annoying at worst. So - maybe on could just ban his other "personaes", like that preacher-guy.
Sake himself - like I said - he sometimes can bring other discussion-stuff to the table.

WARNING THE FOLLOWING POSTS NEVER WERE PUBLISH AT ATOP THE FOURTH WALL THANKS TO WHAT LEWIS LOVHAUG CONSIDER AS "FAIR MODERATION" BUT ACTUALLY MUST BE CALLED AND EXPOSED AS CENSORSHIP :
Capt. Sake "Hancock" Mangusto tried to said Atop the fourth wall and was published and deleted later to be posted again here...
As became the norm here i never know if something i post will go through the approval system or not but there we go again.
Yeah, that's the usual enraged reaction i expect from somebody so passionate when someone else pointed to the obvious.
(said in my best Robert Downey Jr impersonation) You are... in Love... Indeed, Mr Lovhaug !
The average joe would chuckle about that kind of statement if wasn't true but is too late to denied now, your reaction was too transparent and hit at least 5.5 in the Miller Scale ( i explain that later).
Since springtime came earlier for you my friend i wish the best for you and your new companion, your real character as a gentleman is well known and i trust someday you can be the finest of husbands as well the greatest of fathers.
You and everybody else are more than welcome to post any comment you want in my own blog or send me an e-mail exposing your concerns about any topic.
Have a nice day Sir.
And for the pleasure of my self and the allegedly lovely mysterious couple at this Special maybe Last End Credits Huey Lewis hits twice :
as a homage to my self / Back in Time - Huey Lewis and The News
and for the couple / Stuck With You - Huey Lewis and The News
P.S.: Serious man, did you forget my character comes from the "FUTURE", the history of your life is not a big secret.
Or on the other hand maybe, under the right set of circumstances, "I CAN READ MINDS" !... chuckling... not really but i really wish i could you know

Bis nåcha mein Freund, see you at my blog if this takes too serious.
Well, see you at my blog anyway because this will never be approved.

And much later that same day:
Capt. Sake "Hancock" Mangusto tried to said Atop the fourth wall and was published and deleted later to be posted again here...
Ok, now that i had time to cool down and digest the stream of events lets present the facts and nothing else.
I could use another so called "alternate personality" to wear as a mask and defend my self but i won't, my real self and the Captain share a lot of qualities but cowardness is not one of them and when i create the Reverend was more for my self amusement and mockery of religions institutions than anything else, the only person fooled by that was Jarkes, he is probably young.
So let's go :
On January 24, 2012 1:07AM standard blogger time Mr Lewis Lovhaug the complainant posted and i quote :
"I am approving all comments myself and haven't found anything particularly aggravating about Sake's recent posts"
On the same day January 24, 2012 at 4:31 AM after i post two comments previously approved by Mr. Lovhaug himself, the first making a simple honest question directly to him and i quote :
"I see, and you did block the Reverend most recent posts because.... ??? Blasphemy ? Science ? Anything ?
January 24, 2012 2:46 AM
And the next at January 24, 2012 4:00 AM, two hours later addressed to another fellow commentator making humorous comments about Mr. Lovhaug most recent complying behaviour, suddenly at January 24, 2012 4:31 AM, half an hour later all hell break loose for no particular reason since :
a) my question was honest, polite and civil;
b) the previous comment made by Mr. Lovhaug about "haven't found anything particularly aggravating" on my own most recent comments was apparently erased and forgotten from his mind;
c) and Mr. Lovhaug repeat himself complaining about something that was apparently settle down since ages ago and re-applying a penalty that was already being establish in case of recidivism;
To keep things short my closure arguments : you said in your own words Lewis, you did haven't found anything particularly aggravating on my comments therefore "WHAT THE HELL ???".
I made a simple question and next I engage in conversation with Calvin, nothing on that chat between two friends was directly or indirectly addressed to you even considering i was commenting about you in a humorous non offensive way in most if not all western hemisphere and you reacted like i had put your house on fire.You over-reacted, your own previous statement before my comment made me completely innocent and your repeated behavior start to be very closer to bullying.
Are you sure you want to proceed in my condemnation after this facts exposed ? And exactly what i was able to do between 1:07AM and 4:31AM to change the evidences against me ?
Because most of this time i was sleeping and unable to comment anything beyond what is posted and approved up there.
Don't forget we live in completely different time zones.
Your move.

Lewis Lovhaug said...
Sake is still attempting to post and has deconstructed my argument, mentioning that earlier in the day that I had said I had not found anything TOO aggravating. I am still not letting his posts through, but I will respond to him since I know he is reading.
Just because it wasn't anything that ticked me off TOO much doesn't mean there wasn't stuff that was still annoying me. However, this pattern of behavior has to stop and I should have put an end to it a while ago. Sake, I know people who have quirky posting styles. One that comes to mind is Darkdriver from the Spoony forums, a guy who will sometimes post with an alternate female personality in his posts for humorous intent. It's not always the funniest, but he always keeps it on topic. Another that comes to mind is from Gail Simone's forum who will make posts always responds to people in the style of writing a letter saying, say, "Dear Linkara," but again, he always stays on topic.
Your posting style has frustrated me since day one, but I've given you plenty of leeway to change and warnings about the content of your posts. On occasion you will make THREE POSTS IN A ROW to say absolutely nothing. Did I overreact in this circumstance? Possibly. But frankly I have grown tired of giving warnings and I have decided to do something about it. If you think ill of me after this, that's perfectly fine, but as I said, I'm not allowing your posts through until I feel like you understand what was annoying me so much about them and take active steps to change the way you act around here. If you want tangible goals, allow me to set them:
1. One name, one commenter. You have repeatedly said that you will retreat from the computer for a period of time and not post in order to calm things down. You don't do so, often posting again in other comments sections right afterwards, and in the case of your latest one, you instead posted under a different identity. You want to say something? You say it as yourself.
2. Keep it on topic. An occasional joke post is fine, but there's humor that makes sense and then there's whatever the heck you were doing. You can say something snarky like "DC Comics cares more about its money than its characters? THIS IS TOTALLY SURPRISING!" Not: "Here is a fictional conversation I just made up between Frank Miller, Linkara, a DC Executive, and a chicken!"
3. Do not make up wild theories about why I like what I like or don't like or what is going on in my life. "You're doing better because clearly you're in love!" is nonsense. If I do well, it's because I wrote something funny and entertaining. If I didn't, then I tried something and I failed - it's as simple as that. I post and approve comments at what seem like odd hours to you because my sleep schedule is often all over the place, a consequence of working from home and deciding when I go to sleep and when I wake up and when I get work done. And even then, I am under no obligation to explain myself in that regard.
4. Do not hurl insults at people who disagree with you. Admittedly, some people around here are guilty of that, too, but if that happens, I don't want you to respond in kind - if a situation is getting bad *I* will deal with it.
I think that's a good place to start and we'll see how things go from there.

I have to admit, I was a bit concerned, that my „Oh, I am rated down to Triple C Plus”-Joke would be a bit senseless, it was just something, that looked like a good opportunity there.
And I know, you are talking to Sake, but I know, that sometimes I tend to get a bit sidetracked myself. See the Fanfic-Discussion with Sake, when there was another topic.

"I think that's a good place to start and we'll see how things go from there".
And my Declaration of Independence with some copywriting infringement :
No we don't, you are as a matter of fact : "A TYRANT!" There are no we anymore and probably never was. And quoting your own history classes against you :
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation
but in order to do so i have to submit my arguments to your own personal approval before see any single line of my "stream of consciousness" publish here at your comments section, like if your founding fathers had the need to ask King George first and publish the declaration of independence later after approval of the draft by his majesty, and that is above all the main reason why i will not submit nothing else anymore because that means i must comply with the rules of tyranny and censorship, two things i will never tolerate and i will always despise.
And don't turn the "i could say a lot but i won't" that i previously tried to establish before, is too late for that.
Goodbye Lewis ! Keep making the spirits of your ancestries proud with your exemplary patience.
