"For as much as the current Marvel regime bemoans the fans, like me, who refuse to stop complaining about their retcons and editorial mandates, they really do go out of their way to antagonize us, even though there's no discernible benefit in doing so, since even a lot of supporters of the new status quo have rolled their eyes and expressed the desire to see Marvel move past this shit. Scabs do not heal if you keep picking at them."
This. Seriously. Those associated with Spider-man at Marvel do seem to be like people who poke a dog repeatedly with a stick and then express shock and disappointment when it turns around and bites them.
