I like the way the twat tried to cover his back with his self sane explanation....the terms 'spade', digging' and 'deeper hole' spring to mind....
I also read they had a Tsunami thread and he'd said he hoped Takara's competitors had died in it....WOAH!

Oh I remember that Legendary Anti Hero guy from the Collector's Club website, he recently got thrown off there for various reasons
he really needs a filter on that brain-mouth thing of his

I'll check this thread out later - But 100% behind what Simon says on it anyway without reading it.

Yeah, it's pretty amazing stuff. I think we all know from having the chance to have spent time with the man at conventions over the years that this was a pretty singular reaction from Simon. The man is as cool as penguin's verucca. It takes a lot to rattle his cage. but anyone reading TLAH's nonsense over the months will agree it was well-deserved.
I hope people ask Simon to write 'You Asshole!' on their to-be-signed comics from now on.

I say good for Mr Furman! Bigotry* should not be tolerated in any form.
And I hope being anti-bigotry doesn't somehow make me a bigot myself.

LAH was a complete arse for 2 or 3 years on the club boards. He stalked one member and talked about stalking girls at his school amongst all sorts of other frankly disturbing stuff.
Had the "pleasure" of meeting him at Botcon 2 years ago, I don't know whats wrong with him, but he is messed in the head.
Good on Furman for calling him on it.

What was he like in person? Did alarm bells ring when you met the guy - this is making for an intriguing thread.. |

His stalkee on the club was male. LAH decided that as they lived near each other and transformers fans then they must be friends, he went to a comic shop he knew the other guy went to and tried getting info on him amongst other things.
In person he just seems like a dorky kid. More pathetic and delusional than anything, online that translates to well what you read in the IDW forum.

Crikey!
Mind you, I mistrust any forum user with "Legendary" in their username. Or "Anonymous". Or "X" for that matter.

This would make a great storyline for CSI I think....lol. |

That is, for Simon Furman, a pretty strong reaction. But very much called for I think in the circumstances.

He sounds like a lonely mixed up kid by all accounts. He'll either pan out and become a nicer person o sadly get worse....He does sound - from reading some of his posts - like he has the God awful makings of a maniac....and we've seen what his type end up doing in News Reports....Nuff said.
On a lighter note, is he steryotypically fat, spotty and ugly?
Given the amount of 'reverence' he has for Furman I expect Furmans (rightfully justified) comment that he will probably 'hate the man' from now on....oh dear.

Dear Lord. The only trouble is, spend half an hour on the Guardian talkboards and that nonsense actually seems quite mild...

No, try hisstank.com or actionmanhq.co.uk/forum, joesightings.com....they take the biscuit....Overly anal over the toys as well. I'm a member of visibleinnards.org which is about Takara Henshin Cyborg, Shonen Cyborg, Denys Fishers UK Cyborg line and loads of knock offs, customs, modern Neo Henshin Cyborg and other stuff as well.... has a forum much like this, general chit chat, banter and lighthearted on the whole....I'm sure lots of you know Takara's Cyborg derived from G.I.JOE, became Microman, which led to Micro Change, which led to Diaclone and then Transformers....

I went to The Gaurdian boards once for a class assignment around the time of singer Stephen Gateleys passing. It was also when someone wrote an article that offended quite a few and had advertisers like M&S pulling the plug etc. It was mental. Never went back there again. BTW. Welcome back, Death's Head  ===KEN |

Either that, or now that he's fifty, he's turned into a grumpy old man. He was right to put that bloke in his place. |

We know Simon Furman does get angry - we never heard anything at DW. In Nov 04 at Bristol he didn't seem at all fussed & didnt let on he had not been paid for 6 months or so. But I've still not got Energon #24-30 or WW3 #1-3 signed by Simon yet.

Never hath Bill Bixby's immortal line as Dr David Banner been more apt:
'Don't make me angry....you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!' Lol, however, we like The Furman when he Hulks out like this.
