I just read the original thread in which DexX starts a fight with wenisinfurs, and I must say that I am embarrassed that I ever reposted his strip about her when she made me angry. DexX's reaction to wenisinfurs was all out of proportion to what she said. I also admire the way wenisinfurs tried to defuse the situation with humor, though it didn't seem to work with DexX.
Without knowing anything about this original conflict, I initially assumed that DexX was in the right, because (1) Wenisinfurs had made me angry by acting like a jerk and (2) I knew that DexX was a philosophy major (and having been one myself until I recently got my PhD), that gave me some reason to respect his judgment. I now know this was a mistake. In the original conflict between DexX and wenisinfurs, DexX read an insult where there wasn't one, and he overreacted.
However, none of this gives me any reason to be embarrassed by my recent lampoon of wenisinfurs, since that wasn't rooted in animosity. She just seemed ripe for lampooning, and I thought it would be funny. In fact, it brought me very close to winning CC98, which is where it's posted. I like having her around here. Even though some people would like her to go away, I'm not among them.
