...but I'm not surprised, and it's clear you aren't either. Mr. Chizmar was scared out of his mind for going against the party line, and he caved and decided his life and career depended upon being an anti. An all-too common scenario of survival over integrity and courage. I am actually trying not to be too harsh on the man, as I understand how scary this type of pressure can be, even as it is frustrating for us to see every oasis of courage and nuanced tackling of the subject fall like ducks from the sky before a barrage of gunfire during hunting season. And hunting season never ends for MAPs.

Thank you for preserving the interview, and I hope you can keep it up on your blog as a reminder of the way things were before Mr. Chizmar and First Comics News was targeted by the death threats. Which, of course, serves as another example that exposes the antis for what they actually are: a bunch of batshit insane bullies that require an easy target for their violent need to vent.
