Some still have a large cosplay attendance, but seem to see that a little separation of the two has been helpful. We have had cosplay players do their posing right in front of our tables, knocking things off our tables, not pick them up and are rude if brought to their attention. We also heard the same from many other artists. The owners heard and started to separate the two genras and things are much better. Right now at almost 5 years later, he has his own books for sale, "Nibiru and the legend of the Anunnaki" with 3 ready for sale and number 4 almost finished. He's been very busy working for First Comics this last year bringing back "Shatter" but now titled "Shatter 2.0",Starting with issue 1. There is also a possible game in the works. Nibiru took first place at the Rhode Island Comic con the week it was released for best new independent comic. You can find him on Facebook and take a look at what he's been up to and our calendar us filling up with conventions for the Convention season. Now a Veteran in the business since starting at age 19 and just now celebrated his 65th birthday, he's still a very busy boy, pleasant to talk to and better than ever, Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350194426863105137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-57822446262720303312018-03-14T18:57:52.447-04:002018-03-14T18:57:52.447-04:00Is there anything we can do as fans to help Stan L...Is there anything we can do as fans to help Stan Lee?

Obvious exceptions to free speech are dangerous speech (fire in a crowded theatre) and specific threatening speech ("I intend to kill you"). <br /><br />The error in the Skokie decision is the omission of an obvious third exception type: a credible threat of violence which is not specific, if supported by ideology and by historical pattern of mass murder. (Yes, I'm suggesting new case law and/or new refinement of existing case law; Skokie should have been used to establish this third exception type.) <br /><br />Thus, the Nazi march and uniform and flag are indeed expression and a form of speech, but what do they say? They say, "Let's kill Jews." This is a credible threat because it is supported by two massive foundations: Association with an extensive, organised ideology; and a historical pattern of implementing the threat (six million dead). <br /><br />If a historical pattern is admissible in judging a wife batterer, it should be equally admissible in judging a threatening organisation.<br /><br />Thus, the Nazi name, uniform, flag, swastika, etc are a form of speech which is a credible threat of violence. The same could be argued of a KKK group burning a cross, even on its own property: It is a threat of intended violence, rendered credible by the organizational history and ideology combined with the historical pattern of action to implement the ideology (10,000 lynched blacks).<br /><br />(For similar reasons, the infamous Metzger case should have resulted in criminal conviction.)<br /><br />In contrast, Farrakhan's hate speech is protected; though outright hatred of whites and Jews, it is not backed by any organized plan for mass violence nor historical pattern of action to implement the plan. Farrakhan can proclaim his hatred all he likes.<br /><br />Alternately stated, there is a line, fine though it may be, between simple hate speech and hate speech intended to instigate violence in the long term. Cf. the infamous Metzger case, which should have resulted in criminal conviction.<br /><br />As a separate issue, there is an argument for American Nazis or KKK to be classified as terrorist groups and thus outlawed.Observernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-17923290112223568672016-05-03T17:06:40.179-04:002016-05-03T17:06:40.179-04:00You forgot she makes cookies that are to die for;)...You forgot she makes cookies that are to die for;) Richard O'Haranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-36415873387514819692015-11-11T12:22:07.196-05:002015-11-11T12:22:07.196-05:00Clifford --
