What exactly is "the norm" within Disney comics? Apart from some 
basic rules, Disney comics are known to have a great variation, 
with lots of different styles.

You can be sure that I've noticed this comment, Sigvald! You just 
admit you have purposedly used negativity, in order to get attention. 
(As if you don't have attention enough, already!) 

This puts your apologies and your contributions in quite a different 
light for me. You DO seem to know the difference between annoying 
behaviour and good behaviour. If you think you should have attention, 
you just throw in some negativity, resulting in angry/disappointed 
people falling over each other, just to reach you and to give you 
some more chances... And then, how are these chances (mis)used? 
I think I see a vicious circle here.

Anyway, trying to get bad attention is a very wrong attitude. If you 
go on with that, I really think you should unsubscribe from this list,
Sigvald. This list is not meant for people who are experimenting with 
bad behaviour. You can raise your own mailing list for that.

This is vivisection. I feel like a guinea-pig, looked up in a funny farm!

How will people react if Dr. Sigvald tries to present his critical 
comments in a nice way? Will it give him as much attention as before, 
or will he have to fall back on his bad vibe tactics? 

What an experiment! It's for the good cause, though. Either way, it 
helps to give Sigvald attention... And if it's not enough, bad vibes 
will be the bait to get a lot more attention. What a system!
