I did that 15-20 years ago, but I moderated it, posting an Ed Note: to challenge the obviously wrong-headed, and often with a quip or a pun. I was the second to do this, and under the first guy, Ed Note became a personality whose real identity was the subject of a lot of community guessing.

I know, I know, "but she's only a character!". How you are reacting reflects on how many, many people react to trans* people IRL. And it's embarrassing and infuriating.
Especially to the person who went "Boom: Adams Apple". Stop that shit. Seriously.

That was me. And I don't think you've got the right idea here, telling people to "stop that shit". It's rude.
See? All it takes is one person saying something innocently, pointing out foreshadowing the author may have done to an interesting plot development, and someone gets offended. I thought it was interesting, and I'd like to think Jaques had this planned beforehand. I think it's great. There's no offense meant there, and if you see any offense meant, then you are clearly looking for someone to be a badguy.
Maybe you should consider taking a break, going outside, hanging out with friends, etc. Because the last thing this thread needs is someone telling others whether they can or cannot enjoy the comic in a way they wish to.
DSL:
Yeah. Like that.

I've already got Wednesday's comic scripted:
Claire: Good Morning.
Hannelore: How's it hangin'?
Claire: (Runs off to cry) Damn it, Marten!
Maybe that line would work with Emily.

It's been rather civil I thought. More civil than a lot of internet and meatspace discussions (or 'discussions' sometimes) I've been in and seen.

Honestly, I've found the claims that the thread is a warzone and that people should be ashamed of the way they are acting to be the most offensive thing in the thread.
