JLA was ignored because he is boring, more so than he is offensive. This whining about him is even more boring. If he is an example of your heros you seriously need to think about getting a life. TP

She has had many opportunities to cite JLA for offensive posts. You know as well as I do that he could get in trouble with the Administration on a monthly, and perhaps even weekly basis. (I do not think that is fair, but that is another matter). She does not normally resort to this tactic. Therefore, I believe her when she says she viewed these posts differently. I agree that JLA didn't mean to slander gays. I have pointed out that he has objected to rants about gays in the past, and taken a generally tolerant view. I agree that the "Princess" line is questionable. I agree that she has dished out, as well as taken it. None of this has to do with how credible I find her account of finding the continued repetition of the offending phrase unusually offensive. It was not an outburst, it was continually reiterated. I would not have turned him in, but I might have sent him a PM noting that it was getting on my nerves, so I can even sympathize marginally.........
