Let's take another example. Suppose I wanted to start a thread somewhere about John Lennon's love and potential obsession with Elvis and so I start a thread in which I make the case that Lennon's obsession with Elvis is akin to Mark David Chapman's obsession with The Catcher in the Rye, and I make that comparison in the subject heading. Do you not think that people might get a little bit upset by the comparison, even though I'm really just comparing two different levels of obsession? Would it not be fair for someone to say, hey, I think that comparison is in bad taste. Would it make sense for me to respond, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, this has NOTHING to do with who I support or don't support. I'm just trying to make a point about Lennon's obsession"?![]()
