Matt Brady and I have had words twice, once because of a misunderstanding, and once because of my big mouth. I have seen him post probably less than 20 times in well over 2 years. Maybe a couple of those were snarky, but most have been to tell a poster to behave or that they are banned for repeated offenses.

He has a large domain to rule. I guarantee that if I were doing it, there would be more people banned than ever before.

Not only could they use a redesign but the people behind the scenes could use some lessons in taste, personality and tact.

Some of the guys who run Newsarama — Matt Brady — are just downright nasty. Read some of the things he posts to people on the boards. Granted, some people who post there can be pretty snarky but when you have the guy who runs the site stooping down to their level, it makes him no better than the very people he condemns.

Other moderators will email or warn an individual privately if they have a problem but Matt enjoys humiliating those who post things he doesn’t like then grandstands at other people’s expense… and it makes the site both unprofessional and juvenile, a far cry from ‘the leading authority for expert commentary and analysis of the global comic industry’… although ‘authority’ and ‘expert commentary’ are termed very loosely by Newsarama.
