Yeah, OK, I think you need to reread what you wrote, because it's not saying what you appear to think it's saying. Seriously, I'm not trying to start a fight or anything, but you don't seem to realise how your posts are coming across from the perspective of the other end of teh intertubes. They do come across as insulting. You can take that bit of perspective or leave it, as you wish.
I'll just leave it there, and otherwise just remark that today's comic really was comedy gold.

We react to what you post, can you understand that? What. You. Post.
Not whatever is in your head. JUST WHAT YOU POST. It just so happens that what you post is offensive, to various degrees, in all of its possible interpretations.
The fact that you are discussing about fictional characters seems to make you think like it doesn't count.
Discussing doesn't work like that. Never has, never will.
If you're unable to understand that general statements matter IN GENERAL, never mind if the conversation is about fiction, cooking, or elephants, then you should probably stop trying to post on any forum ever.

Yeah, except I had this bit in one of my posts before I started getting into talking about the characters themselves.

I actually thought the comic would have been funnier if it had simply been this:

Why, because I made a post describing how Jeph has deliberately portrayed Tai? Get mad at Jeph's portrayal, not my post describing it (Jeph has even admitted that his portrayal has been a negative one and that he's going to work to change it).

<moderator>Removed comment directly insulting Jeph; Jeph's remarks on Tumblr are not a sufficient excuse.</moderator> <Actual poster> Unless I actually posted "Jeph is a twat" or some variation here, doing this is dumb (because I didn't post anything remotely like that here). Good job editing my post to make it look like I did, though.</actual poster>
NotAwesomeAnymore:
So when you said everyone thinks poly people are sluts, that was sarcasm?
EDIT: Ok, wait, I think I'm getting this... Though I think there is a difference between Tai, and all polyamorous people, and all lesbians. I never considered her as a representative of the whole community - I think that's discrimination on behalf of the reader, not the writer or the characters.
Tova:
In spite of my better judgement once again...
We're not talking about anything you said about the characters. It was when you stopped talking about the characters and started making offensive generalisations (i.e. polyamorous people are sluts) that people got their backs up.
Do you understand that polyamorous people who are in dedicated relationships aren't going to take too kindly to that?
Probably not I'm guessing, but hey I tried.
