Snarky Scott Allie Digs Inappropriately

[Scott Allie]

A couple readers have pointed out that some of my comments in a recent Q&A were derisive of IDW's Angel series. I've got no place nor reason to attack, but my normal sarcasm got a little on the shitty side. Sometimes my competitive streak comes out in ugly, juvenile ways, as has been noted on a few message boards and blogs, and I'd like to apologize to Brian Lynch and everyone at IDW. We're all trying to do the same thing, keeping these stories going, making good comics, and respecting Joss's characters and the vision, and I gotta remember that in a world that reads so few comics, we should all be building each other up rather than copping attitudes, as I sometimes do. Brian, Chris, the rest of the gang over there, apologies. You're driving new people into comics shops and into this artform, and that's a key part of the good fight.

Kudos for clearing the air.

But, in my opinion you didn't say anything offensive at all. Either way, it's the holidays and a time for everyone to enjoy all that we love! And since I love the Buffy universe, that includes Season Eight and After the Fall.

So thanks Scott for being a part of Buffy! You do a great job!

Ah man I'm so glad Scott said this. I took rather badly to the Angel digs, because the "After the Fall" story is really important to me, so I'd like to say sorry for any imature things I might have said in reponse to the recent Q&A incident. Classy statement, Mr. Allie, and again, I'm really glad that was said to clear things up. Happy dance time.

Thanks Scott. I didn't take offense at anything you said, but I know that other fans (see Patxshand above will be very relieved by you sharing. Thanks for caring enough to come back and clarify.

[KingofCretins]

Bah. I don't believe it. Scott, clearly this is just to throw us off the scent of your scheme to abuse the position as editor to corrupt the story against certain characters and relationships.

Just kidding. Thanks for making a statement about it, though, I like there to be a sense of shared purpose between the creative and administrative minds of the Buffyverse even though they are operating in different publishing houses at the moment.

[kaleidoscope]

As someone else who was offended, thankyou for your apology. It was much appreciated.

[Skytteflickan88]

I'm going to have to re-read the Q&A's to see what you mean, but wheter you actually were rude or not, it's good of you to say that you're sorry.

[sosa lola]

I don't remember reading digs, must have missed them, but saying sorry for doing something wrong takes guts and shows character-strength. You're a good guy, Scott
