OK, this is one of those instances where things get muddled over time and
multiple quotes. I never said Lar or anyone else called for the comic to be
changed or removed. I did use the "C" word in my post this morning, mainly
because I was very frustrated and, admittedly, bitter. I'm sorry if this has
insulted anyone.
My aforementioned quote was a response to Chris responding to me responding
to Lar, etc. etc.
My opinion about the matter stems from current trends of parental groups
calling for banning videogames, music, movies, etc. because they want
society to protect their kids for them. I really didn't intend to direct my
own sentiment at anyone in particular. I'm sorry if it got muddled in all
the brouhaha.

I'm frustrated by Dan's decision to change it too, but it's his call.

Perhaps so. Again, I didn't really intend to direct my sentiment at anyone
in particular.

This goes back to my point. I feel that I have been responsible enough to
use birth control because I don't currently wish to take on the
responsibility of children. Thusly, I feel that I shouldn't have to take
care of others' children. I don't buy into the whole "Global Village" thing.
Hopefully I worded this clearly enough. :^)
