I am referring to your readers, who may not have been informed of the magnitude of your reckless reporting. Be a man for once. I just noticed someone asking if you insult people behind their backs. Get to work on your apology/retraction, because I still have the emails. You know -- the ones you pretend to forget. You ever going to publicly explain that rubbish article you wrote about my work?

My comic gets ~20k to ~30k uniques per month, and I sell maybe 1 or 2 items per month. That's a profit of like $10. The half pixel model says I should be making $1000?
