Yea, a few *drawings* of beings that are clearly inteded as sentient anyway 
are "dangerous".  I guess people are going to see that and get killed by it, 
or turn into serial rapists, or it will cause earthquakes to destroy us all.

vetrinary medicine textbook. Don't try to tell us you're not blowing it 
completely out of proportion.

When a person, either superdan, or this time, you, comes around here and 
starts directly attacking other people out of the blue, yea, you can expect 
the rest of us are going to lash back.
