Everybody relax. I'm fine, no family deaths, no virulent diseases, no tragic accidents, no warlock assassins. I just got incredibly busy with my day job this week and needed a substitute. I'm very thankful Tyler was willing to step up and pinch hit for me at the last second. And the way I bash on warlocks every week (and will continue to do so until they stop letting me write columns here, and even then, I'll probably just reapply under a pseudonym), I am more than willing to allow for a modicum of tasteful mage-bashing in response. This is the price we pay for being so unapologetically awesome, people. It's lonely at the top.

I'll be back next week, barring an act of God. I'll try not to suck.

lovely, we got a troll...

I have to agree - worst AB ever.
This is the first I could not stand to read. Useless in every way and put in a manner that - to be frank - is insulting - this means I wont bother to read articles by that author again.

This was NOT 'tasteful'. Your warlock bashing is generally amusing - to both warlocks and mages - in the nature of friendly rivalry. This was condecending and directly insulting.

Christian, even if you are being attacked by massive chickens of doom with lazy beams on their heads, don't let this guy write for your column again. It was atrocious, easily the worst AB I've ever read.
