I'm currently using Wordpress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run.

I wasn't suggesting that people should silence themselves when they were personally offended (in fact, I was disagreeing with Heidi's contention that some battles aren't worth fighting; I think people should say whatever they're feeling). <BR/><BR/>My point was more that bloggers shouldn't feel obligated to speak out on the controversy de la semaine if they didn't have anything to add. There are enough meta/link blogs covering these issues to ensure that everyone will hear all about them.<BR/><BR/>Also, I have no problem with discussing covers, and I understand why people focus on them. Perhaps they deserve a disproportionate share of attention, but lately it seems like they're getting all the attention.Dick Hyacinth's Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199236541341734429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-80607499554970478362007-06-26T12:41:00.000-07:002007-06-26T12:41:00.000-07:00D'oh!I got so focused on the ones I didn't like (b...D'oh!<BR/>I got so focused on the ones I didn't like (bingo, linking to covers, talking about covers), that I blanked all the good ones.

I shouldn't write comments when I'm underslept for the second night in a row.<BR/><BR/>I apologize, and I've deleted the dumb post.<BR/><BR/>Trying again:<BR/>I agree much with your points about not feeding trolls, moderating comments (I am a BIG believer in moderating comments.)<BR/>I don't agree that there's no currency in, well, covering the covers. <BR/>Do I agree with all of the criticisms of recent covers? Oh hell no. But I do understand why offense is taken where I have none. <BR/>I also understand what it's like to be bothered by something, and be put down for saying so. <BR/><BR/>And, since it's in a now-deleted post, I'll say again I enjoyed the spousal survey.DivaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777712092222499616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-30328076163412821712007-06-26T11:34:00.000-07:002007-06-26T11:34:00.000-07:00Lea, which suggestions do you disagree with?

I'm curious what (hypothetical) value you see in activities like debating trolls.<BR/><BR/>As to why she picked out the Marvel Zombies cover, she said, "I was just guessing to humor you." So there you go. I was thinking about showing her the vagina dentata Flash cover, but I should probably give her a break from this stuff. And yeah, she really did laugh whenever I showed her a new cover, perhaps as a nervous reaction while she was considering the wisdom of marrying someone who can explain the concept of Marvel Zombies.Dick Hyacinth's Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199236541341734429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-41454774278726780342007-06-26T05:27:00.000-07:002007-06-26T05:27:00.000-07:00I love that your wife's initial response is [laugh...I love that your wife's initial response is [laughter].

Rather, I know what a vagina and labia without teeth look like. I drew the non-toothy ones from photo reference. <BR/><BR/>I am apt to see genitalia when they're present. There was a time when I would bump over that imagery. Not because I didn't see it, but because I couldn't parse how anyone would be that damn obvious and get away with it.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, and a monster is a vagina.<BR/><BR/>I've moved on to having monkey toys humping Flash, anyway.DivaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777712092222499616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-84195745464092033662007-06-26T00:52:00.000-07:002007-06-26T00:52:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.DivaLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777712092222499616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-25137178699286930862007-06-25T17:18:00.000-07:002007-06-25T17:18:00.000-07:00Or more likely, Lea Hernandez complains about ever...Or more likely, Lea Hernandez complains about everything and seems to enjoy it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-35985789430852755452007-06-25T13:28:00.000-07:002007-06-25T13:28:00.000-07:00I like the stuff with your wife.

I've actually thought about doing almost the exact same thing (but probably not recording the results, since I don't usually talk about these sorts of issues on my blog). I did show her the recently-solicited Flash cover, with the vagina attacking him, just to see if she noticed that. But she had no idea what I was talking about, and disagreed vehemently when I told her that people thought it looked like a vagina. Weird. I showed her some examples of women who thought it looked like that, including Lea Hernandez, who was certain of the fact due to illustrating sex ed manuals, and I guess she conceded that some people might see it that way, but she didn't. It surprised me. Maybe comics people are more apt to see genitalia.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867868039166531163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-81978818742843148382007-06-25T08:39:00.000-07:002007-06-25T08:39:00.000-07:00One of the things that's confused me about the Cap...One of the things that's confused me about the Captain America cover controversy is, well, even if the cover is showing a lynching of the Falcon, it isn't as if they're implying it's a <I><B>good thing</B></I>, are they? There's no cover blurb going "IN THIS ISSUE: That uppity Falcon gets what's coming to him!"<BR/><BR/>It's a moment of peril; we'd expect people to pick up the comic to see how the Falcon gets out of trouble - whether or not it's a lynching.<BR/><BR/>(And if it is a lynching, we want the Falcon to not only escape but then kick the crap out of everyone taking part.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7715773315155138002.post-63107013354758613332007-06-25T04:35:00.000-07:002007-06-25T04:35:00.000-07:00Hey Dick, Thanks for the link, but I'm a little c...Hey Dick, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the link, but I'm a little confused. I'm a blogger who doesn't get the controversy behind the Captain America cover. Just like your wife, I didn't notice it was a black man on fire until other bloggers pointed out to me that I was supposed to be offended.<BR/><BR/>I still am not. I'm kind of really jazzed for a well written Falcon story by Ed Brubaker, considering the level of quality from this week's issue.<BR/><BR/>I did like your rules for dealing with those that disagree with you.
