I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be looking for on the Comic Con website. I seen one panel on African American creators that has three members listed. I see one panel on women cartoonists that has four members listed.
What were you trying to point out?

What Cheryl Lynn was trying to point out requires you to actually read the blogs and forums that she linked you to before the Comic Con website.
You see…the panelists at the 2006 panel featuring African American creators were all men and appear to have dealt with a 47 year old African American woman HORRIBLY at the panel and afterwards (particularly Reggie Hudlin, who basically seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time painting her as a nutjob).

I did read all the blogs first. And I knew the whole situation from reading those blogs, including the fact that all the panelists were male. That was quite clear from the blogs.
What I’d like to know is why she wanted us to read the Comic Con info after reading those blogs. It can’t just be because she wanted us to notice one fact that was made clear several times in the blogs.
