I'm utilitarian, so I do believe that your action was bad. I don't judge people by actions, though, and you had a right to be disgruntled, perhaps. The morally *good* course of action would be to attempt to let him learn to respect the sensibilities of others while sparing his social vulnerabilities.

It definitely was a terrible action, but it was the tipping scale for him to open up and actually go to a person (me) for help.

 

I don't go and yell at anyone I'm mad at (as said, it's the first time in about 7 years). However, perhaps he needed something to convince him he needed support? 

 

As of now I promised him I'd teach him how to and how not to tell dark jokes (or humour of any manner), and I am making sure I stay calm from now on. If he had the confidence to ask to be my friend, then I'm gonna be his damn friend.
