Not that I read anything from the Nu52, but it's nice to see Bill Finger get some credit on this issue of Detective Comics:

You've got to give DC some credit. They've now gone ten whole days without doing something stupid.Acknowledging Bill Finger for the 75th anniversary...it's about time.

I'm not a drinker. Not at all.But over the years I've been given bottles of booze as Xmas presents which I just stored away in a dark cabinet laying flat.I'm going through the cabinet now and I see 2 bottles' contents have evaporated. Otherwise I have a Sterling Vineyards 2003 Merlot and an undated Champagne Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin.Its got a barcode so its from 1980-2000. What to do? Should I chill and try?

Dunno about champagne, I've never drank it. But as long as the Merlot hasn't been opened or the cork been compromised it should be good. I always drink Merlot or any red wine at room temperature. That's not to say you can't drink it chilled, I've just never done it. Now once you open it can get bad after a while.

Yeah the Merlot is probably best at room temp, open it up and let it breathe for about 30 minutes before you intend to drink it. As for champagne, higher end champagnes (like the Veuve Clicquot) can age well if they were stored and cared for properly. It's been 20 + years since I worked in a liquor/wine shop while in grad school, so my memory on a lot of it is fuzzy, but here's a link to Wine Spectator and a Q&A about aged champagnes that may help you out. -M

I'd like to ask a question of moderators, for the purposes of my own information and of fellow posters, so as to be more a tuned to people's sensibilities.
IF I were to say find an article on the human behavior of cannibalism, a legit news article of the crimes committed by someone to facilitate their end purposes; which contained news and photographs that were of a clinically graphic nature about the crimes and the cannibalism and those involved in it; would it be offensive? Provided the title if the thread was not misleading in any way, the article was linked and not copy pasted and a warning of said graphic nature of contents were posted. Would it be deleted/locked or feel the need to suspend/ban the poster responsible? Would fellow poster find it offensive enough to report it to a moderator?
I have no intention of doing so here, I am more trying to get a feel for where a line is in reporting something for discussion bad to be educated and what is unacceptable. Humans do bad things to each other and it seems in society some are acceptable with many to discuss but some are not.

I have no intention of doing so here, I am more trying to get a feel for where a line is in reporting something for discussion bad to be educated and what is unacceptable. Humans do bad things to each other and it seems in society some are acceptable with many to discuss but some are not. I'm going to say up front, Shax is going to have final say on this, so if he disagrees with me, it's his call. The standard we ask is to keep stuff on the site appropriate for a general audience, as you never know who will be surfing through. We asked that all material of a graphic nature be linked rather than posted on the site, i.e. anything that would be NSFW. I think if it were linked and a proper warning that the material in the linked site is graphic, you would be on a solid starting point. I personally would not lock or suspend/ban someone on those grounds. However, a lot would depend on where the conversation went/proceeded and each member would be responsible for their own reactions. If the ensuing conversation went awry, we would probably take steps to correct it, but that would not be because of the way the material was initially presented. I don't want to lock threads/warn members/suspend or ban anyone. It's not why I am here and not why I became a mod, I volunteered to mod to help Shax out because he had a lot on his plate and I was familiar with being a mod/admin on proboards as I had done it for other sites I was involved with. No one would be happier than Shax, the other mods and I if we never had to step in in that mod/admin role. However, sometimes the best laid plans go wrong and things go south despite best intentions. At the end of the day though, we are a classic comics forum. There is a lot of off topic material as well, and that's cool. As I said to Shax, I like to the think of the place as the equivalent of the old neighborhood bar for all us comic fans (without the alcohol-mostly). It's familiar, it's comfortable, people know each other, newcomers are welcome, we may poke good-natured fun at one another here and there, but it's not serious (usually), but it's still a public place and people should act accordingly. But we're all here to have fun and enjoy ourselves. Debates can get intense, but should avoid getting heated if possible. opinions will be controversial, a lot of folks will have common ground, but differences of opinion happen and are part and parcel of the social equation. It's all good. So as long as people handle something like that, it should be good, but in all things, things sometimes hit the fan and we have to deal with it. If you have something specifically that you are wary about, be proactive rather than wait and see if we have to be reactive. PM one of us, and let us know what's what in a situation like that. So that's my 2 cents, Shax, Hoosier(daddy)X & thwtguardian may have stuff to add or alter though. -M

Very well said MRP.
Back when I was a mod at CBR Captain Jim was a pretty big mentor to me and his stance on controversial posts was to focus not on what was said but rather how it was said and that's something that I've really took to heart both in my role as a moderator and as just a regular old human being out in the real world. Basically, just be good to one another and try to use your best judgment on the topics you decide to post on. For instance, in regards to your hypothetical cannibal topic, we ask that you be mature enough to have the self awareness to see that not everyone may care to see or read about that kind of topic and that you should respect those posters wishes by giving them every possible warning concerning the subject matter. By doing that you've illustrated that you are capable holding a measured discussion on a hot button issue with other posters, where as if you post a thread title like "Best YouTube vid ever!" and follow it up with a cannibalism video and commentary like "I hope that made you Puke!" and responded to other posters voicing their discontent with posts like "I can do what I want, $#@! you!" we're not going to trust you to be able to have a mature discussion and we'll no doubt lock the thread before it gets out of hand.

Humans do bad things to each other and it seems in society some are acceptable with many to discuss but some are not. My feeling about this is that I'm very capable of looking up on news sites what's going on in the world. I come here to talk about comics and other forms of media (books, tv, movies etc). That being said I have no problem if people talk about the horrible things (although I try not to cause it's too damn depressing). I just don't think something like the example you gave should be posted (even if it's a link), I for one would find it offensive and it's not something I want to see. This place is where I go to get away from all those horrible things that are constantly talked about, in the papers, radio, on yahoo, whatever. To each his own though whatever people want to post is up to them I won't be involved in it though.
