Thanks!
Seriously? I can't even have a civil discussion with another guild member of mine, where we both state our bits, and talk for a while without someone outside the conversation entirely complaining about it, and wanting it removed? How do you justify that? I mean...really, is it just my posts? When do you guys put a stop to that? Am I allowed to just report whatever I see from people I happen to not like, and get it shunted to anywhere else, simply because.
God damn, guys. You can't just bubble-wrap us all. May as well shut down the entire forum to protect people's super-fragile feelings from maybe getting hurt.
On topic:
This guy right here. I am convinced he is the single greatest Green Lantern of all time, and now I'm gonna tell you why:
It all starts back when he was introduced. Jordan had ordered Mr. Stewart here to protect an overtly racist politician from an assassination attempt. It was, at the time, the Lantern's job to kind of play "police". John had some serious reservations about the issue, but went along with Jordan right up until it was time to intervene. That's when he said "nope". The whole thing turned out to be a set-up by the politician himself to garner the sympathy vote, and when Stewart didn't try to protect him, it exposed the whole thing.
Now, this is important because it shows John Stewart is willing to analyze a situation before riding in on his white horse. He's an architect. He builds things, he takes them apart, he understands them. Jordan, Rayner and Gardner? They kind of...don't. They lack foresight.
Also, at one point, Stewart reconstructs a planet and blows a willpower fuse in his ring. Fact.
