Often my blog posts these days don’t really begin as such.
Sometimes a note in my journal about something I’ve just seen or read grows to
the point that I decide to share it with the world (or my two or three readers)
here; The same sometimes happens with an email – which is what happened here.
A couple of months ago, an email from one of my Facebook
friends (literally – we’ve never met in person, and only spoken on the ‘phone
once – but have gone from a Facebook acquaintance to periodic, sometimes
lengthy and deep email exchanges on a
variety of subjects) elicited from me a pretty strong condemnation of DC Comics
and dismissal of their upcoming Rebirth
event … which I just more or less ended up retracting.
