< What's not to agree with? Jumping on someone and calling them names for innocently mentioning the name of a character in a Twain work seems like a great idea.

I honestly didn't even think twice about it until Mike freaked out. Who knew that the name of a character in a book that most of us (I would assume) read when we were children would be so offensive to mention in a thread revolving around the casting of said character? >

First of all, I don't think it was "innocently" mentioned. Everyone knows we just don't use it anymore unless you WANT to spark a battle.

Secondly, we all know that mentioning it would start something. None of us are innocents here. We all know the fire the word enflames whenever it is used in ANY context.

Personally, I think it's a shame that things are like that but they are. Let's just not hide behind "innocence".
