This is probably none of my business, and I'm sympathetic to one not wanting obscenity on their friends-page: I don't like it either. But you are aware, I trust, that the post you made isn't in your personal journal; it's on an LJ community page. (That's where I read it, anyway.) I know you crossposted it on your own LJ, but the point is, the commenter was commenting on a post in an LJ community, NOT your own journal. So, when you post onto a COMMUNITY, should anyone who responds reasonably be expected to call up your user-info page before they respond? I know I don't access the user-info pages of everyone who comments on one of the various LJ communities I'm on before I respond to their posts, nor would I expect people to do so for me when I post onto a community. Granted, I tend not to use obscenity in comments anyway, but the point remains valid.

To summarize: It's reasonable to expect people to abide by your guidelines when they're responding to posts on YOUR journal. But it's probably unreasonable to expect that when people respond to posts on a COMMUNITY, a PUBLIC journal.

I hope no offense is taken. Anyway, for what it's worth, I agree that the writers are essentially manipulating all the characters -- Superman, Batman, Max himself, J'onn (come on, would J'onn EVER have been as dismissive of Beetle as he was in "Countdown"?) to do what they want them to. EXCEPT for Wonder Woman, who DOES seem in character.
