Help please

Dark Horse, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that the very best thing right now is to poke fandom with a pointy stick.

So, I was wondering if someone with a Whedonesque account would mind terribly jumping into the thread in question, and telling people that this is how a fight should go! (Spike changed his wardrobe, and Jack had a bit of work done... *g*) ETA: Done, so don't worry about it. But figured I might as well leave the post up. :)

Oh Torchwood, I miiiiiss you. *deep sigh*

Yeah, that was me, and yeah, I thought this was a patently puerile attempt by Dark Horse to generate controversy and thereby get free publicity and boost sales. I suspect that my comment did not go over very well, though I have not returned to read any responses to it. I am just surprised that otherwise sharp folk would want to play the game, since it cannot be answered save for in a completely reader-response way (my general modus operandi on whedonesque)...

But I do understand that people invest in character; it is just that this was so blatant.

Dark Horse make the Vatican's PR team look good. (And I didn't even read the comments made when they linked to my s8 essay. Don't need the heartache.)

And last time they did it, they ignored the poll results and picked the winner *they* wanted...
