But I'm not offended, I'm just pointing out how easy it is to set up ways in our writing and language that can be taken as offense.

As someone who is part of the LGBT community, I would be offended if someone uses such words as F****t to identity us as part of their own way of thinking. But if they are doing it as quoting something that used those terms I see it as being a reference to something beyond their own opinions. That is what the GNR lyrics are (Dire Straights too for that matter which I've sung karaoke with before). That is how Ashley Barton empowers herself in the book (granted Millar is putting that label on her, but it does come across as a self-empowerment tool). THe fact this is part of a creation of work is immutable and does not necessarily reflect the actual opinions of those who use it. Sometimes a reference is just a reference.

i've already drawn the mods attention about squeezeycheese's remarks and his endless tirade of attacking members on here. hopefully we can ban him. apparently he feels the need to troll,flame and attack numerous memebers now. as far as i see no one else is going on and on other then him. i see a member being banned coming up shortly.

And as a black person myself, I found the previous use of the n-word far more problematic than what anything NiteLife had said in that post, which was essentially just him referring to a comic book character by her given name. If he was going around calling women bitches, then sure, he'd have a point. But now, it just seems like we as a society are screaming oppression at everything because we want it to bother us.

I have been looking everyday since the 22nd and this was the first decent priced one I came across, (165.99 w/free shipping ) I have never ordered from them before but I figured I would take a chance... Interestingly it looks like the spidey wave will ship July 1 and the xmen ships at the end of July...
