Does Mark Waid hate Barry Allen?

When I read the Afterword [#79], I was a bit shocked that a writer who wants to write about The Flash is angry when fans and the like ask him about Barry. Who gets angry about that? And what does he mean when he says he doesn't want to cheapen his death? How many characters have died and come back in the comics? Some questions started coming to mind, but they were just that; questions, until I was reading #92 and found out what he had done to Iris.

That's like making Lois Lane a human spy for the Green Lanterns corps, but without a ring and for no reason. Why is Iris from the 30th century? Why didn't she take her grandchildren to the past when Barry was alive? He's never seen them, plus Barry already has training in training an arrogant young speedster.

Edit: 😭😭😭I get the point now. I didn't have the full context as to why he hated the question about Barry. And I know now he's not the one who came up with Iris being from the 30th century. I didn't claim that he hates Barry, it was just a question, but I probably should have worded it better.

HOW????? [Flash by Mark Waid Book 03]

Maybe I'm crazy but how can the flash add his own speed to the flow of the stream? Is it something to do with his speed aura? Is it something to do with Flash time (CW)?I'm spiraling over here.

Lightning Rod [Flash: Rebirth #4]

I grew up watching the Flash (CW) and it was my favorite show, and I've recently started reading comics, and I've gotten to Flash: Rebirth. I have this question (or issue) concerning some logic in the story, and I promise you it's not 'what's Superman's Kryptonite' level of stupid (if it is, please be gentle 😅). It's something that I don't understand or maybe I choose not to, but why are the speedsters' lovers made into their lightning rods to ground them (to make it possible for them to leave the speed force)? Doesn't it sound too ridiculous for a speedster to be unable to leave the speed force because he never fell in love?

This might be an unpopular opinion but why did Kid Flash kiss Artemis at the end of season one? I feel like they skipped a 'phase' that sets the foundation. It started out well and I was hoping it would get to that but the kiss was too soon. Honestly when I saw everyone kissing, I thought that they were still being mind controlled(in a way 'phase two?')
