There are rumors of one out in Maine, but ever since the dark times, we haven't been able to go up there to find out if the legends are true.
Yeah, I suspected that at least one person to notice the strange flip between the two; I can offer no wholly rational explanation for the completely opposite opinions expressed in each. I still stand by both as being valid viewpoints, I think that a large part is context. In the right context the line doesn't exist; just as I wouldn't make a joke about death at a funeral, I also would not joke about suicide with a friend who was considering it.
I think a large part of the seeming disparity is that things that go on in my life bring these opinions to the forefront of my mind and then I convey them in a general context with little to no explanation as to WHY I'm thinking about them; and then something like this happens where the in the specific instances that are happening in my life my viewpoints make perfect sense, but in the generalized way I expressed them the ideas contradict one another.

I find the contrast / juxtaposition of your comment above and your sentiment in "Comic 404 - Caution: Thinking Ahead" interesting.
I agree with line crossing sentiment. If I am trying to upset you you will be in no doubt about it - so why not relax a bit?
