lurkerwithoutRemember Rick S: the Defender of all things Dave Sim?
Watch as (under his normal internet handle of TalonTM) he demonstrates how to A: NOT go about creating positive publicity for his hero B: offend women, gays, dogs, Gail Simone, Colleen Doran and various other comics pros C: prove that he is truly a Troll Amongst Trolls on a lengthy thread at the CBR forums. You start out amused, then becomed sad, then get amused as numerous people pwn him, then get sad again with more than a little anger, then its amused at various thread drifts, then angry, then just happy to see it ended...
If you enjoy internet fanwank trainwrecks, its worth reading thru all 80+ pages. Plus there are some interesting anecdotes about the Indy comics scene in the 90s...

I've come to the conclusion that Dave Sim fans are actually good for the comics community, in that they force the more casual, unconscious misogynists to realize how unattractive their attitude really is. Nothing shuts up a guy complaining that women don't belong in the comics industry like another guy enthusiastically agreeing with him, then going on to say that they should be stripped of the vote, too.
