Tough it out
Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
More shallow commentary by Molton.
He is an onion with one layer. Peel it back and nothing is in there.
He keeps getting under your skin well enough.
“He keeps getting under your skin well enough.”
I’d like to see him in a “Cartoon Off” with a talented cartoonist. His one layer would get KO’d in the first round.
As a pro critic, you should see his lack of depth and be critical of it.
.
If he were a conservative with such simple messages, I bet you would have a field day with him. Are you giving Molton a pass because you agree with him.
?
You know he is giving him a pass, he gives everyone a pass that see’s eye to eye with him.
I’m not actually giving him any kind of a pass at all. I’m amused by the fact that he irritates you — and it’s always a bonus when it riles up Asheville Troller — which has nothing to do with Molton’s abilities or lack thereof.
By the way, I’m not a pro-critic of political cartoons.
Ummmm you are quite the defender of his political cartoons, you have blasted me for it in the past. Just because people like to kiss up to you doesnt make you right or righteous.
And He doesnt irritates me and neither do you but your self justification on all your reasons for what ever you come up with does give me a chuckle.
Makes me glad that Im not a sad, shallow human being that begs for attention or validation from my peers in my community.

I have blasted you for being nothing but a font of negativity so often that I have lost track. I have never seen you post anything even remotely constructive.
Just because people like to kiss up to you doesnt make you right or righteous.
Never claimed it did — and if you think everyone kisses up to me, you haven’t been reading very carefully.

You achieved being sad and shallow with no help whatever. Congratulations.
You blast me and other folks all the time but its ok because your part of the in crowd around here.
Im sorry Im not sad nor shallow just a realist that doesnt looks at the world with closed eyes.

No, actually you’re just a troll who shows up (under a screen name — so brave) from time to time to talk about how everyone and everything in Asheville is so awful.
You have no real defense so you Attack of my using of screen name (even if I used my real name you would NEVER believe it) you never call anyone else out on their screen names, but most of those folks you agree with so no need to. And you resort to calling me a troll, I give examples and back up what I say so Im a troll, how classless of you for not being able to handle a discussion or any critisim of something, when being a critic yourself.
I didnt say everything is Asheville is awful, never have.
you never call anyone else out on their screen names
Oh, that is demonstrably not true.
give examples and back up what I say so Im a troll, how classless of you for not being able to handle a discussion or any critisim of something, when being a critic yourself.
Oh, please, you haven’t given anything but your opinion that I’m part of some imaginary in-crowd. That’s about it.
I didnt say everything is Asheville is awful, never have
I’ve never seen you praise or support anything. Everyone I know thinks you’re a troll. Most of them think you should just be banned. Of course, I realize everyone I know is part of some vast network of cool Asheville, etc., etc.
Are y’all commenting on the cartoon or sniping at each other? We suspect the latter, and moderated commenters continuing this line will be held… and unmoderated folks may be switched to moderated, per the policy you agree to when you register.
