I find that just as odd as I would to hear a Jewish person saying that Hitler wasn't all bad. I certainly wasn't trying to say that UF_Pike is the modern-day version of Hitler for women. It was a comparison, not an equation. For the record, part of my immediate family is Jewish. I'm highly aware that the Holocaust is vastly different than the struggle for women's equality. If you like, then use this example instead... Women sticking up for UF_Pike on GC is as odd to me as members of my church sticking up for Marilyn Manson.

You are taking it way too seriously. We are not "STICKING UP FOR" him. We are simply saying that based on his posts, and in comparison to other posts, we don't feel that his punishment necessarily fit the crime, so to speak.
SigChi, no need to insult, I said what I had to say. I was trying to get some clarity from your post since there wasn't really any apparent, originally. Read the edit, understand a little better. However, I simply do not agree. I think that you are careful to say that things are only offensive in certain contexts and certain instances. In fact, an offensive thing is an offensive thing. That is what I meant by "degrees". Is there a certain scale to which something must be deemed offensive before the poster is placed under consideration to be banned?
Bottom line, UF_pike was not meant to be taken seriously. EVER. And for those who did, YOUR bad for being too sensitive. For once, I am in TOTAL agreement with PM_Mama.
