Beau99 (who I am very fond of) pointed out on his journal a post in Cafe Toon Zone where GregX listed his pet peeves.

This is my reply in Beau's journal. I thought it deserved it's own entry here:
Here's a question for Gargoyles fans and I want a serious answer: GregX believes himself to be one of the people who is promoting Gargoyles the most and trying to get new DVDs and projects for the franchise going. This is wonderful and I appreciate him doing it. What I want to know is does he realize exactly how many people who SHOULD really be trying to help the franchise he and his clique are alienating with his behavior? I know he's trying to be shocking but I personally don't want to be a huge part of a fandom where him and people who are as rude as he is are trying to speak for it. I'm never going to even WANT to attend a Gathering or pitch out to help get the show back on the air if people like him are truly the people representing the fandom.
For Heaven's sake, I have strong political Beliefs too but if I EVER start acting as mean-spirited and vindictive as he does please tell me.
Update: The post is gone. I'll paraphrase what the post said. GregX said he hated both Democrats and Republicans (and by saying this he was implying the majority of people who vote), retarded people, enviromentalists, and the French. He had a bunch of other pet peeves but I can't really remember all of them because I was too focused on the stupid.
As I said to Stewie below, if GregX IS really close to Greg Weisman, Weisman needs to sit down with him and have a SERIOUS talk with him about his behavior and how it effects the fandom.
