> That comment section is ... well, what happens when two sides of an argument both think that they are clearly right about something, complicated by the fact that a lot of people are talking at cross-purposes, or about different things.

>>> Well I liked the fight. I think that I like all of the fights you write, actually. There's a part of Fine Structure that I often find myself pointing to and saying, "There, that is exactly how a superhero fight scene should be written."

>>> The fight confused me at first because I had thought that The Glass Man was sort of like a "Incarnated Ra" built out of thin air like that mech created by Abstract Weapon all those chapters ago. You did a good job of establishing its dominance when it first nicked the Bridge from Laura.

>>> But then in this fight it turns out to be a *human*, which is a step *down* in power that kinda threw me off at first. Hope that makes sense.

> Looking at the comment thread and the author's responses, it's interesting how much The Glass Man comes off as a [Strawman with a Point](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StrawmanHasAPoint).

>> The listening post doesn't control magic, it just lets the Wheel Group have their admin privileges. Magic is run from that other complex where Laura found the Bridge.
