    I know, @Christopher. I appreciate tat you are the most polite and helpful Avatar of"Well, Actually" on the internet. I'd still love to see it. Oh, andIno one can ever convince me that the title character of The Mad Scientist wasn't Lex Luthor.

    EDIT: I mean that the mad scientist from The Magnetic Telescope is Lex Luthor to me.

    I never said they were. I was just pointing out that I myself have always been able to look past the flagrant insults to groups and view the cartoons as what they were intended to be seen as; entertainment. Some may not be able to, and I agree with their motivations and complaints, if not their responses. It's just more important to me to suspend my disbelief, than to take offense at the slightest little thing.

    One other thing. Next time you quote me about something like this, quote the entire post, and address everything I say, would you? I'm not an idiot.

    Huh? I wasn't saying you were wrong. I was just saying "On the other hand." It's a complex question with points worth considering on both sides. You presented one, I presented another. It's just point-counterpoint.

    I'm watching an episode of Law and Order: SVU with guest star Brian Dennehy and I think he would have made a good 'Uncle Ben' in a Spider-Man movie.
    I can also picture Caroll O'Conner as well.

    I'm still sensitive about how I get presented by others. I probably always will be. Still trying to do better.
