P.J.,
First, I don't know what the difference is between a "quick reply" and the standard "reply" options. Since I chose "quick reply" I am typing rapidly. I would click on the "go advanced" button but I have an old computer. Second, I don't know how anyone can determine whose reply is directed at whom.
Anyway, blacks have a history of being lynched. Thus the difference between a Palin effigy and an Obama effigy. We elect judges to determine if such differences are valid since it is a judgement call. But regardless of who is being effigized, to determine intent requires that one reads the mind of the accused. I remember back in my football playing days I was about to get clobbered when I threw a pass to where my receiver was suppose to be. But he had run the wrong pass route and was nowhere near where the pass landed. I was flagged for "intentional grounding". Like an elected judge in a courtroom, the referee had to guess my motive in order to throw the flag. He guessed incorrectly, but the team was still penalized.
