While I'm not Waid's biggest fan (as anyone who knows my criticism of Unthinkable), the person he responded to said that they had changed the word because 'brain-trust' "has been co-opted and demonized by the opposition, so a new term has to be created that isn't as easily corrupted. And here's a question to ponder as well- if it WASN'T so important to have these terms, why invent or promote them in the first place? Why not just let the term Braintrust drop and not use it, instead of replacing it with another one?" So it wasn't like he was just asking why the term had been changed.

And while the guy didn't mention Waid, the comment was made in the "CBR: Mark Waid Talks Spider-Man 24/7" topic.

And the "Raping childhoods since 1992" bit was only for that post; it wasn't his actual signature.
