    I RECENTLY POSTED A COMMENT ABOUT ONE OF FIVE TIME WATERS BATMAN ARTICLES THAT HE HAS POSTED IN 2 DAYS - THIS IS HIS RESPONSE - (MIND YOU HE SENT IT AS A MESSAGE TO ME IN MY BRO BOX)

I'm quaking, pal. Let's see what you've got. It takes a huge man with balls of steel to quiver behind a fake name, hide behind his first name and then threaten legal action when he's got nothing. I've been in this game far too long to give a flying {deleted} through a rollling donut about nobody's like you. Take your own life. Do the world a favor. You are nothing. Less than nothing. Keep at it and see what happens. Looking forward to your 'legal

    Have we now abandoned the last modicum of professionalism, BRO? I can't see how it at all benefits this site to have its contributors mocking, and belittling and deriding commenters. If Mr. Waters cannot take criticism, perhaps he should at least be restrained from commenting in response, rather than being allowed to threaten to go after their identity (to what creepy, stalkerish end, I wonder?) and ridicule the size of their genetalia. I wholeheartedly second UnionAMG's above comment and JAramini's in the previous Batman post.

    I think you might want to consider this a failed experiment.

    "Yet sadly, big multi-national comic book companies have a way of running young upstart visionary talents straight into the ground by saddling them with hacky storylines, predictable plot twists and cheesy superhero team-ups."

    I feel the same way about your involvement with BRO...you are a wordsmith and a poet, Tom Waters, and you need a big canvas to paint your masterpiece.

    The Buffalo News has legitamized your serial journalism and you must strike while the iron is hot...leave this minute and do not return until you have summerized every last detail of every last Batman comic ever written...You will prosper beyond your wildest imagination and, YES, you might even get laid.

    Go now, Tom Waters, and be the Best Comic Book Guy you can be!

    BRO... I don't care that you support the publishing of these articles based on their subject matter. They probably have an appeal to a group of your readers. However, after reading the countless comments posted by TWaters, how can you continue to post his articles and allow yourselves to be respresented by his unprofessional antics?

    I'm not condoning the people baiting and arguing with him, but as a contributor he should be held to a higher standard. Instead he makes your site look petty and combative. When he looks like a jerk, you all look like jerks.

    Very disappointing that 1) we have various articles about Batman when the site is called ´Buffalo Rising´ and 2) BRO allows this guy to not only write these articles but then to belittle the readers that post comments. I lost a lot of respect for this site with this mess. I´m perfectly fine with any article related to Buffalo but what does a batman comic have to do with this site and then we have this incredibly unprofessional writer attacking users left and right? WTF?

    UnionAMG, you're surprised that a contributor got into an immature argument on this website? Since most of the content on BRO is about as professional as a high school newspaper, it shouldn't have come as a complete shock.

    As far as the Batman posts go, I personally don't care about them, so I didn't read the first couple. After the next ones came out, I wondered what they had to do with the supposed focus of this website. I'm not against a change of pace once and a while, but the frequency of the Batman posts was a little much.

    I had no interest at all in reading any of the batman articles (and still haven't, including this one). What attracted my attention was MEC's comment which I happened to notice on the left hand side of the front page (most recent comments). Any comment saying simply 'you suck' invites a little exploration.

    I have never seen a Batman movie in its entirety (I saw maybe half of the first one or the second). I never understood the attraction to comic books, even as a kid. That and pro wrestling. My classmates were all hyped about wrestling and comics and it mostly baffled me. I was always interested in real things, not farces.

    I don't have any objection to someone posting multiple articles on their field of interest. I'm not forced to read any of them. With subjects like this, I just tend to skip right over. I think the real reason BRO published so many articles on the same topic was to give a counterpoint to all the complainers who say BRO is only interested in bicycling.

    Spectacular article. A work of visionary genius! Can you smell what the sarcasm is cooking? More comments mean more controversy means more site hits means more popularity.l I'm soaking it up.

    ny, ny, How does it feel to be a tiny, insignificant and niggling voice in the dark that no one listens to? Does it give you some small satisfaction to have your whiny voice heard by riding on the coat tails of comic stories? I guess I should have kept your emails in my mailbox, eh? If you think I'm embarassed by my words or deeds, perhaps you haven't read my latest post on my own web site:

    I have nothing to apologize for. You've got a lot of condolences to dole out thanks in large part to the fact that you're still breathing....

    I can totally saee the connection between Batman and Buffalo... wait - no, I can't. This is possibly the biggest waste of my literacy since I was reading "Choose your Own Adventure Books" and couldn't stop flippng to the page where I died.
