No thanks.

If I get to be a moderator, then this is a job, not an adventure. ;)

Doesn't mean I won't get your back for you now and then.

I might seem oversensitive about this kind of thing sometimes, but I'm acutely aware of how much damage something like this on a website can do when somebody out there picks it up and runs with it. I've seen more than enough examples. Okay, odds of that happening are slim for a little out-of-the-way board like this, but slim is not the same as none, and the consequences can be rough. In a normal world, simple cartoons wouldn't bring death threats either.

Sure, there are more than a few political "porcupine" websites out there that might gleefully run something like that* and stand there taking the fallout, but I don't think you want this board out in that target zone.

* And do! It's not like Lee drew that cartoon.
