Jeph Loeb
Jeph Loeb and his entire bibliography dating as far back as the early 90s!
I hate him for helping to destroy comics in the 90s.
I hate him for destroying the hulk after he went through the most beautiful piece of character development.
I hate him for killing Sabertooth if the way he was killed.
I hate him for destroying the Ultimates - my favourite comic.
I hate him for have Red Hulk lift Thor's magical hammer who only the worthy can lift.
I hate the pen and paper that Jeph uses to script comic stories.
I hate him with hate!Food Chain number = 4

'Criteria' as a single noun; 'protest' as a transitive verb (in most cases, although 'protesting one's innocence' is OK - not sure what the grammatical distinction is there)

Really that scary; it's fight or flight time. I usually manage not to do either, thankfully, as long as they don't bother me.0 -

My wife give me the look every time I correct them in my most condescending tone, that I am not currently your mate, nor am I ever likely to be your mate.0 -

It's usually used as a way to diffuse the situation...
Take the hint - don't escalate it.0 -

Mine does make sense though...
