This is what it has degraded to? Quoting your own post with what he wants in your own thread? 

Guess since it is yours  you can do what you want.

I was never a hater, but I'm also not a lover. Every artist has ups and downs IMO. Except for - maybe - Alex Ross.

When I first saw Kirby art in 1969, it was jarring - but it was also the first comic I remember ever seeing. It certainly didn't repel me, but because it was Kirby, it was like nothing I'd ever seen before.

When I started to actually read them, I initially gave no thought to the artists. Some comics were cooler than others, but I didn't associate that coolness with the names on the splash page. I knew I preferred Marvel's Greatest Comics to the non-reprint FF, but I was unable to say why. Later, I figured out that some human person sat down and drew the pages, and that Jack Kirby seemed to be involved in almost all my favorites. But the reason I'm KirbyJack, and not DitkoJack or ECJack, is Giant-Size Fantastic Four #6.

To OP's question, I still am a Kirby hater.  Though I recognize his contribution to the hobby.  Some things just need context.  Similarly I tried, but I didn't really like Citizen Kane or Casablanca or the Godfather, but the critics and film school people sure seem to think they are 3 of the best movies of all time.  I note that Kirby tops every best artist list, on this board or otherwise.  But put a Kirby spread next to a McFarlane or Lee spread and it's sort of like pulling up next to an Lamborghini Aventador with a Toyota Avalon.  So history and context are doing a hell of a lot of work.  And maybe you don't have those other two without Kirby, so credit due.
