An explanation

This blog is here to inform you, while it entertains you. That's the short explanation for this. If you actually give a shit about long, rambling introductions, keep going.

I intend to dig up every lunatic in webcomics. If there's drama to be found, I'll locate it. If someone's so insane you can't help but watch everything they touch turn to a trainwreck, they'll show up eventually. In the end, this is going to be a risky project, but these are people who expose themselves with their own actions and words. I'll cite sources, pull out examples, everything short of filming the fuckers and going "Okay, when his dick's in the dog, that's where we start to laugh." (And who knows. I visit comic conventions. In time, we might even get to that point.)

I know that I'm going to catch hell for this, at some point or another. Let's just take out some of the easy criticisms up front, then, having seen them brought to bear against others:

1. I curse. I talk like this, and I write like this. If you feel so strongly that a "fuck" is going to keep you from taking anything I say seriously, I can officially ignore you, because you're fucking nitpicking if that's the best you can dig up against me. (Jesus, at least call me a hack or something, I know I'm no novelist here.)
2. I could give a shit if something's "just my opinion". I aim to hang the lunatics with their own words, but yeah, I'm going to slip my own say in on this from time to time. I'm pretty fucking sure I know which bits are my own additions. Pointing them out to me will just make me think you believe everyone else reading is too stupid to, and how can I let you insult the other readers (all four!) so?
3. Don't fucking claim I'm an anonymous coward. I use my own name on this page, a quick e-mail to me can give you the full one, and really, I use a total of about two, maybe three aliases on the entire internet. I'm just as easy to find dirt on as anyone else here, and I can take any criticism you raise. Besides, if you claim that your own digital past doesn't contain some embarrassing fuckup, you're a liar.
4. Similarly, rip me a new one from time to time, but for god's sake, have a point. Calling me an unfunny cunt is useless if you can't tell me why I'm an unfunny cunt. How the hell am I supposed to learn from that? (But honestly, if you think I suck, at least give a reason. I'm already going out and looking for the information in these posts, it's up to you guys to figure out my fuckups.)

Speaking of, drop me a line, I can always use new targets. Bring crazies to my attention by sending a message and a link or screencap or something similar I can use to back up your claims to syrgpure@gmail.com at some point. Please, though, make sure it's worthwhile. I can start storing items for a bit, but let's be honest. Some dude with three comics under his belt screaming at a troll on DrunkDuck isn't anywhere near as fun as the insanity of Scott Kurtz's latest breakdown, you know?
