[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6182803, member: 8835"] Thank you for sharing a personal trauma about your life and for having what I feel is a reasonable interpretation of the initial comic, despite having that terrible thing happen. I know it's not an objective measure of reasonable interpretation, but the fact that some for whom the topic is sensitive, they can read the initial comic and not interpret it as PA supports rape is the problem. How can a human read "rape is bad" and think I just wrote "rape is good"? The whole problem started when people read the INITIAL comic and sent in irrational responses that caused PA to counter-respond in a cascadingly worse way. The problem stems from people who can read something and find a completely different meaning and intent than the actual words say, and that the authors claim they had. Since some people like tossing in the proper debate terms, how do we detect, define and measure that? To me, they made an interpretive mistake and went on the attack with faulty information. Presumably from there, threats were made against PA, etc. From that situation is where PA would have been making their retaliatory stikes as posts and terrible T-shirt ideas. I see a difference from people who respond poorly to threats and attacks from people who start trouble because they have the wrong information in their head about what really happened. [/QUOTE]
