[edit] NPOV

The following section

Jack Thompson Controversy- GU Comics has, along with many other webcomics, on many occassions taken on anti-videogame campaigner and lawyer Jack Thompson through a combination of parodies in several comics, and raising awareness within the gaming community of the activities of Mr. Thompson.

seems to lack a NPOV concerning Jack Thompson. While I personally hold no love for the guy, the phrase "raising awareness" has a POV feel to it. To almost seems akin to "raising awareness" for HIV/AIDS or the like. Mikemill 22:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I changed it to say

GU Comics has, along with many other webcomics, on several occasions taken on lawyer Jack Thompson, known for his activism against violent video games, through a combination of parodies in several comics, and letting the gaming community know about the activities of Mr. Thompson.

I hope this is better. Minirogue 00:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

That works. I am not used to writing in an NPOV style, too against my nature I guess, so no worries--Breandán 02:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal Edits

Uhh...I'm not too sure since I am still kind of a noob at the whole Wikipedia thing, but I'm not sure you are supposed to delete an entire talk topic like that...but I have no problem with it personally. Just letting you know in case you get scolded by someone more experienced or something. Minirogue 19:28, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

as the person who was subject to derogatory remarks from my supposed friend regarding myself being vapid etc and was extremlley annoyed by the whole incident with my half wit of a flatmate to the degree I have now left the GU site where i have been happy for years I am quite pleased he has removed this minirogue so no issues from the other adult side of the conversation.

If this is viewed by a moderator and they are worried the other parties are annoyed let me add that I am quite pleased that this has been taken down.

As W Hearn is the owner of the GU site and I was the party who had been "possibly" implicated for the half wit who lives in the same houses actions I am quite happy this has been taken down and have no issues.82.30.252.45 20:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
