Should any topic be off-limits when it comes to humour?

[palou]

Humour should not be allowed to create a hostile sentiment.

Suppose, for example, that someone is rumoured to have been involved in some scandal. Until actual conviction and confirmation, I think it to be of *very* poor taste to use that as the subject of a joke. We all have a natural tendency to believe things simply through frequent exposure, whatever the source may be. I do not think it acceptable to spread a negative image of a person beyond the limits of what we can know with certitude.

Of course, not something anyone should get arrested for. Just something I think should be avoided, and content that I think can be allowed to be removed.
