Mark, please show us ONE place where any of us has asked for the comic to be
changed or removed. All Larry has said is that he is uncomfortable with his
children reading the comic, and will take action to prevent them from seeing
it. He also raised a point of discussion, perhaps to find out if others feel as
he does. Now Larry does regularly remind people that Lugnet is a family place
and that certain language is not acceptable here, however, if you read Lugnet's
TOS, you will see that all Larry is doing is calling for us to observe the
standards we agreed to when joining the Lugnet community.
For my own part, if Dan changed the comic because the discussion got him to
thinking about what he was expressing, and he realized that that expression was
not something he wanted to express, then I salute him for changing the comic.
If, on the other hand, he changed the comic purely because he felt peer
pressure to change it, then I don't respect the change.
If you go back through the history of lugnet.off-topic.debate, I think that you
will find that Larry, Chris, and I are 100% with you on whose responsibility
the children are (though I firmly believe that children are in the
whole communities interest, and that if they examine their interest carefully,
they will accept a certain responsibility for other's children).
