OK, I think the only reason I'm even bringing this up is because I'd like a little confirmation on something, if only to make sure I'm not insane.

There's this new person, goes by the name of "looser890", who has thus far done about 30 comics in 3 days, and not a single one of them made me laugh, or even chuckle. Furthermore, looser890 had this bizarre habit of censoring his own swear words with asterisks, which seemed kind of weird to me anyways because his characters swear like sailors:

/comics/looser890/420437/

None of this would be an issue, except that looser890's profile consists of three words: "comment my comics".

So, innocent moron that I am, I decided to comply. To this comic:

/comics/looser890/420435/

I added the comment, "OK... You use a LOT of swear words, but you also censor your own swear words... And you censored the word "sex" in one of your comics, but you don't censor the word "gay" here. And also, your comics aren't funny. Try coming up with a joke first, and then writing the strip around it, and if you're going to swear, just swear."

Long story short, I've gotten THREE private messages from this twerp in the past two hours, telling me how "my comics put him to sleep", how "my comics are horrible", and "my comics aren't even complete" (I can only assume he's referring to the BTC template I just did).

After I sent him a PM, telling him to either offer constructive criticism or knock it off, he's now demanding that he won't unless I "say something nice about his comics". However, I genuinely don't see anything funny about them.

So help me out, folks - Who here can find the needle in the haystack? Are there any Stripcreator donors that can offer this poor, unfortunate soul a good comment about his comics?  What are the chances that I've simply been baited by a troll?

His latest installment, and proof that he has at least stopped censoring himself thanks to my advice:

I've also gotten some PMs from looser890, but I've had a more positive experience. One said that my strips are "hallaris," another said he (she?) liked a video that I linked to in kane2742/420338, and one asked for tips on making better comics. I gave some standard advice on spelling, punctuation, and quality vs. quantity and suggested reading Injokester's tips.

This one amused me a little bit, mainly because of its absurdity:

Overall, though, I'd agree with your comment, ZMannZilla. Maybe we just don't get the humor of kids today.

I would go even further than that. I would shun his whole family. Also I would institute a naval blockade of his comics. Then I would erase his black name from the very pages of history.

If the kid is annoying, do the broken record.  Every PM sent to you, send back the same one - "Not interested." (or something along those lines).

He/she sounds very lonely and in need of some kind of interaction, even if it's bad (that's what little trolls do).  You can't stop people from making bad comics, so I would just let it go and follow AngryAmerican's advice.

But that only hurts the inhabitants of his comics.
