So don't get all "OH WEBCOMICS ARE FREE SO THEY CAN HAVE AS SHODDY OF A SERVICE AS THEY WANT OMG!" on us, because really they don't.

You are NOT ENTITLED to anything you aren't willing to compensate for (and no, "being a fan" is NOT compensation). In the grownup world if there's no consideration, there is no obligation. So go read another comic, and be happy Aeire is again posting. She doesn' t HAVE to. No matter HOW much you want it.

Just chill unless someone is saying something abusive.
Yeah it is a little tiring, because it's not drawing the comic completely it's updating the commentary. I'm personally getting a little twerked with it, although I am not the type of person to go on a board and say that.
Because people jump at you for expressing your opinions.
So don't get all "OH WEBCOMICS ARE FREE SO THEY CAN HAVE AS SHODDY OF A SERVICE AS THEY WANT OMG!" on us, because really they don't. And not that I am going to go to the point where I'll complain, because it is free and people have lives (even though commentary, not comic - but I am not aware about how the updating system works, so maybe she can only do one or two in advance and not just write up all of them).
But people will have their opinions as you have yours. Disagree fairly and not by snapping at them and calling them selfish whiners.

Disgruntled reminds me of the lady ahead of me in the BK drive-though today who held up the line for five minutes while she yelled for dipping sauce and "EXTRA pickles! get it right!!" both need a good kick in the pooter. thank you, drive through!
