Victim?  I hate to be snide, but PLEASE tell me how you are a victim!  This 
was literature, not action!!  There are NO victims in literature!!  NONE!  
You can read, or you can not...there was no one forcing you at gunpoint to 
read that post!  Once you decided it was offensive, you could have skipped 
it, digest or not.  This has gone WAY beyond silly, folks.  No one was harmed 
with that post.  It was innapropriate, and that is ALL!  Victim?  Puh-leeeze!

Sorry to get upset, but for the love of Mike, if people are this sensitive, 
they have NO business accessing the internet, which is perhaps one of the 
last great bastions of freedom of speech and expression left in the world.  
Let us preserve it.

Mr. Wizard, what happens when you combine pasta and antipasta?
