This is Getting Out of Hand
Wow. I go away for about a week (my family was visiting from the States) and suddenly the blog goes all confrontational. It appears that Doctor Polaris had gotten into a bit of a spat with 52's Doctor Tyme. This can't possibly end well.
In other news, new comics tomorrow! Which hopefully means actual posting from me on comic related topics! I can't wait!

He is not a doctor.
Diamondrock,
I agree with you wholeheartedly. This has gone too far. To you good sir, for usurping the content of your blog in this petty squabble, I apologize.
And to my colleague Doctor Polaris -- may I call you Neal? -- to you I would also like to make amends. No adolescent cracks this time about your helmet and obvious Galactus-envy , but a heartfelt apology for my actions.
On Monday I was subjected to an unprovoked attack on my character at your hands as you called into question the legitimacy of my doctorate. My response was uncalled for. While it cannot excuse my actions, please allow me to say that my acrimonious comments were caused in no small part by the repeated mental anguish inflicted upon me by that troglodyte Sivana and his continued attempts at “humor” at my expense. (You’re on The List, Sivana!) I am ashamed to say that I lashed out at you in response.
Regardless, your remarks are still quite cutting, Polaris. Though we may not be friends I had at least expected some degree of respect and professional courtesy. Fortunately, after a few days of repose, I have come to see these insults for what they truly are.
Jealousy. Jealousy over the fact that I was chosen for the Oolong Island project while you were ignored. I cannot fault my own genius and therefore cannot hold you responsible for you your feelings of inadequacy. While the presence of that intellectual neanderthal Quimby confounds me as well, I am not privy the decisions regarding which individuals were recruited for this endeavor. If you like, I could put in a good word on your behalf with Chang Tzu. Let me know.
Also, as a show of good faith I shall remove your name from my List of Doom and consider the matter closed. However, should these unwarranted attacks on my character persist, you will be receiving a personal visit from my associate, Mr. Fist Punchington!
Hm.
Seems to me that, given the outcomes and you and your colleague on Oolong, Dr. Tyme, Doctor Polaris is lucky not to have been involved.
Furthermore, my own theory is that Chang Tzu, domineering manipulator that he is, didn't invite anyone he couldn't control. That would certainly cover Doctor Polaris, who is no man's fool but his own.
As for your credentials, if Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani vouch for your education, that is sufficient for me. It seems unlikely an uneducated layman could devise the 4-X beam!
P.S. Is there any steel in that mask of yours? If so, you might consider a plastic version a very wise investment before you pursue any threats against Doctor Polaris!
P.P.S. If you two do not BOTH behave, I may call Dr. Domino myself and have him reign you both in. I doubt any of us wants that...
Scipio, as always, is the voice of reason. I suggest we defer to his judgment and let this matter drop. Immediately.
Agreed. A truce then, but only because I do not wish to trouble Dr. Domino with this matter.
