Dennis Summers replied to John Dunbar's discussion Marvel and DC Golden, Silver, and Bronze Age collections"Ooh, I had Kanigher warts once. If you get them again, here's what you've got to do: steal a bit of your neighbor’s fat bacon and rub the warts with it nine times. Bury it secretly under a stone or, better still, in an ant hill. As…"

I am, however, going to give WW a pass because although I love Peters' artwork, I hate Kanigher's writing on WW. I think he totally…"

Hello John,
I may be out of line here but in regards with your exchange with Mark, we both know how he feels about Marvel now. We've both know that his opinion has not and probably will not change though I hope it does. Despite previous advice, I have no doubt that he will continue to comment on how "evil" the Marvel heroes are whenever he can.
However, he has had some medical problems and he has left here before thinking no one wants him here. That's something that I am hoping to avoid. I'm not blaming you for ANYTHING, let me make that clear. I am only trying to prevent another round of the same debate that apparently caused hard feelings before.
You won't change his mind and challenging him about it will only make him defensive, as past interactions show us. If steered clear from the topic of Marvel's Post-Civil War period, he seems happier.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Again I'm not faulting you at all. Merely trying to keep the peace, as they say.
With all respect and best wishes,
Philip
