Don't take this the wrong way, but it's obvious you didn't know anything at all about this Buckley guy before a couple of days. You want to be the good guy and defend someone you felt was bullied, but you lacked all the context about why he's hated. Nothing too wrong about that, but now that you know this guy isn't exactly the blameless victim you though, don't you think you should inform yourself of what he's accused of and reevaluate your position? Instead of switching into defensive mode with generics like:
1) "I didn't know he did those things, talk about that instead" (they have been talked about at length both in this thread and outside, it's just more fun to mock his "art" so people do that more often).
2) "I'm sure everyone has done dark deeds in the past" (we are all judged accordingly to what we do and how we own and handle our mistakes, otherwise this argument can be used to say Gandhi and Hitler are the same).
3) "I read his intentions regarding the loss comic in a more positive way" (again, you lack the context and subsequent declarations about that comic, including how dismissively he always talked about his girlfriend).
You have good intentions but at this point it just seems you want to look like the better man no matter what. Also, where you see widespread hate I see mostly mockery, or perhaps my own opinion of him tints my perception.

Works perfectly.
That's actually pretty good.
In the alternate universe where the Wiipad was as big as the Wiimote, this is what happened.

Most is available on http://web.archive.org/web/20100113215509/http://rainedog.com/d/20090116.html the story jumps around seemingly at random but there could be a reason for that in the missing pages.
This follow up to the dog kiss page was the only real "highlight".
The fucking FBI is going to be knocking on my door after viewing that.

It wasn't necessarily funny but at least it's shorter and gets to the point.

Sir!
I got a bioware shirt ad at the bottom of the page and stared at it for like 45 seconds trying to find the loss joke.
The author is too busy making an actual successful comic and rightfully forgetting her shame.

That is... mesmerizing.
I expect to see that chalked onto bare bricks when the end time comes. I will see it in the stars when I close my eyes. The Thing That Waits has a thousand names, but all are spelled with that sigil...
I think I need a tattoo...
More seriously (not really) I feel like that could be the symbol of a faction in a sci-fi movie or game and no one would bat an eye.

I already paid to meet the guy at Megacon '07, have purchased and been gifted the damned DVDs, and have read every single issue of 1.0...
It's shit, it's absolute shit, and I've wasted hours of my life which I will never recover because of this shit; but... Is this what nostalgia goggles feels like?

I wish people would send me tons of money on the merit that I *haven't* made a hilariously misplaced miscarriage cartoon.
Imagine what Buckley will do with this money.
Now imagine what somebody who's NOT Buckley could do wit that money.
I'm waiting, internet.

What gets me about this one is how Ethan is so obviously, blatantly, *officially* a Tim Buckley self-insert character, and here we have a comic strip written by him, *about* him, and the best the female character that represents his actual girlfriend can come up with is "at least he's not a stalker or a murderer - so I *guess* we got married."
He holds himself to such a high standard.

It's alright, I was the same way with Bleedman. To this day that man draws little girl porn and strange ass crossovers.

It's bad enough this bled into that thread that devolved into Edgy Winnie the Pooh comics; there's no need to drag Splatoon through the mud here, too.

It doesn't necessarily turn you into a sad, depressed sack of tears for the rest of your life. People move past it. Adam authorizes them to.

Usually when I get angry on the internet, its played up for the sake of theater or whatever. Few things really just make me go blind with rage.
You know one thing that does? Clicking on that motherfucking link and seeing the goddamn piece of shit is getting heaps of money. How the fuck can people do this? How the fuck can he keep getting away with it? Lets give Chris-chan his own goddamn variety show.
I'm seriously pissed off right now.

im honestly more than fine with admitting im wrong or ill informed. i think ive changed my mind on topics more than most posters on gaf. in fact, i pride myself on it. that said, let me address your three points:
1. to me, doing this basically amounts to saying this his presumably unfunny comic is a worse offense than any of the other things for which he's hated. i dont buy that most people rag on cad because they're aware of buckleys sordid past. if that were the case, the vg cats guy wouldnt receive the exact same treatment (unless he's also done a bunch of terrible things im unaware of).
2. my point here is that because our mistakes aren't visible to as many people, our punishments tend to be more fair. Some really trivial things can catch the ire of folks on the internet and the response is totally lopsided because we see our attacks as minor singular swipes at someone rather than as a part of the aggregate.
3. me and the other dude were both arguing off of the blog post content. so that's really all that applies to that back and forth. additionally, unless you know someone's life story you're always going be missing context.
edit: also while i wasn't aware about most of the things that drew ire toward buckley, i was aware of the miscarriage comic and the accompanying blog post, as well as the countless cad threads over the years.

Crazy how he is only wasting his own and his readers time with the 2nd and 3rd panel for almost every comic.
I could easily fix that comic without using the CAD Rule.
Remove all the text and replace it with three words "Me playing Vanguard"
It makes the comic a visual medium and the joke is still delivered without being bogged down by endless text or WORDSWORDSWORDSWORDSWORDS

Da hell.......
LOL, i cant take it anymore. This thread is just amazing
There are, like, 3 KickStarters worthy of that money going on right now (And unlike the others, Combat Core's still got a long way to go for its base goal)! Plus, ToeJam & Earl/The Miskatonic just wrapped up relatively recently. It's actually a bit infuriating that B^Uckley's getting this money instead, seeing how he's flat-out taken charity money in the past.

This has been very interesting thread to read. I had no idea of the brilliance of these loss mock-ups! I've been enlightened!
I remember reading CAD back in the days, and being rather entertaining at first, but I remember thinking that the fame really got to his head at some point when the site began looking more fancy and the level of the comics suddenly plummeted. The last point for me was when the cartoon was supposedly coming and there was money involved in everything and suddenly you were expected to start paying.. aw man.. well at least we got some seriously awesome meme's out of this..

Fucking hell, I must have read that about five times before I realised it said "marriage" and not "miscarriage."

Why does he like to put a lot of words anyway? It's easily one of the sins of a strip.
If it's intentional:
1) Hide how terrible his artwork is
2) Make you think you simply missed the joke because of how many words there are to read
3) Poorly attempt to create a sense of realism by having characters talk more often
But more likely, if it's unintentional, it could be because he has no sense of comedic timing and because he's too lazy to separate longer pieces of dialog into multiple panels.

He thinks people are stupid and need every single joke over-explained to them in excruciating detail to even understand what's happening.

Even in real life I don't think people talk too much, and those that do tend to be irritating.
Even rarecandytreatment's wordy strip isn't as annoying as this.
