Ah well. Another fan bites the dust.

In the new issue of Young Justice, a fan who simply signs his letter “Creed” (address withheld) extols his long-standing appreciation of my writing, but then informs the editor, “After reading Young Justice #15, I was given a clearer picture of Mister David, one that I will not support. I do not support anyone who doesn’t understand ‘you don’t blame the car for the accident, you blame the driver.’ Gun control is not the answer. In the ’30s the German people gave up their guns so that the violence would decrease. In the ’40s lots of people died. ‘Never Again!’ Good Bye DC, and Good Bye Peter.”
