Nope. I don't think it'll ever appear there. Of course, it's his prerogative to not authorize a comment that basically says "The decision was a terrible one and I think you're a bad writer." (much more elaborate and hopefully less offensive, though) because it's his blog after all... but it doesn't actually speak for a self-assured person. Rather someone who's insecure and would rather exhibit censorship than deal with cirticism in an open and self-assured (read: non-snarky) way and that's ridiculous... if I can't deal with criticism, I shouldn't publish my opinions where everyone can see them. I'm just a little sad to see that this confirms the suspicions I had about JM.
The not-so-friendly comments don't get posted, and all you ever get in the end is another disappointment or a I-want-to-hit-something moment.
Yeah, exactly... if he would at least deal with criticism in a mature way (the man's an established screenwriter in his 40ies, for Heaven's sake)... but alas, he can't. Wouldn't be all that bad if he just blogged about food and books and would keep his damn hands off SGA but since he doesn't... I'm actually hoping for a miracle, like MGM getting sold to someone who also thinks the crossover and the movies are bad ideas and will shelve them for all eternity or something like that.
