Ben youre completely missing the point.

Just because you or I may not get offended, doesnt mean other people dont get offended.

No Im not the users in this thread are.

The job of a mod isnt to prevent individuals from being offended.  Their job is to ensure no overt attacks are used towards specific people, specific groups, or posts that show things universally agrred as inapropriate such as graphic images.

The post that is specifically mentioned does none of these things.  It was simply a play on words.  Its not a mods job to care if an individual is offended by it

The reason they need to quickly stop overt attacks (which I don't think they do well either) is because it is highly offensive. You do realize, you have basically legitamized stealth trolling by saying "Well, as long as it's not obvious and it's just a 'joke'..."

Yeah, I can make a dozen jokes and know they offend someone and avoid the filter. People get banned for jokes on this site too in fact, so actually... what is your point actually?

My point is your trying to argue for cencorship because your offended by something.  That is rediculous.  I didnt even find his joke funny but to make a thread complaining about people making jokes is a bigger problem than anything he said.

Had he made a statement that said "No ones wants to be around women when they have PMS because they act like bitches" I would have been first in line to say he deserved to be banned.  But he said nothing like that.  Be careful to argue for people being cencored for small things, because the next thing you know you wake up one day not being allowed to say anything at all.
