I find that people often state something inappropriate, then when confronted, they say they were just ‘being humorous’ and that the person who had the problem with their statement needs to ‘lighten up’. Well, as you and I often discuss, we can’t just tell people what they should consider to be funny but we can (and are free to do so on ask-public) tell people what we consider to be NOT funny, to us. Then, we hope that the person won’t resort to childish claims about ‘why so serious?’ and will think twice, maybe, about uttering whatever it was they uttered in the first place. Because, we do live in a crazy world and sometimes humor isn’t the answer. And though you can find many things funny…it doesn’t mean they’re not offensive. Period.
