I've thought a lot about what you said, and its making less and less sense as we go along. You feel this post is fine, you agree it's inflammatory, but because it's in response to a different inflammatory thread, you won't identify, it is ok, but that we must stop inflammatory posts. But not this OP here. How's that? Did I get it right?

People can't seem to comment on the content of posted cartoon, so they vilify the cartoonist. RC Dec 2013 #11

I am familiar with Scott Adams views on women and the context of the ongoing arguments. PeaceNikki Dec 2013 #12
