"Eric Burns is an established writer on webcomics who has a history of published writing in comics, short fiction, role-playing games, magazines, and poetry. He is a columnist for Comixpedia and an occasional writer for the Webcomics Examiner, and runs his own comic-oriented blog, Websnark." I note from his Wikipedia article that he holds a BA Cum Laude in English Literature. He worked on games and publications for Steve Jackson Games. So he has a lot more qualifications to write about writing than just being a blogger.

Assuming that's directed at me, then I'm not sure what the statement "webcomics aren't encyclopedic" is meant to mean. I've never argued such, in fact I've argued the exact opposite. I've even cited sources which I hold to be better than Burns' blog, either peer reviewed journals or reputable print based publications which employ fact checkers and publish corrections and retractions. Still, I'm interested in hearing the tortured justifications you present for continuing to attack me.
