There is no absolute right or wrong when it comes to ethical problems and perceptions. The majority's opinion is the most valid measurement. I personally believe the majoyrity of TL (or any regular forum/community/society) would say NO to that "funny" pic. But I may be wrong, a poll would show.
I don't think the point is about that particular picture; it's more about the people who think they have an absolute knowledge about where the line between funny an cruel is. This is no absolute, and you're not necessarily right just because you are more "sympathetic" with human grieve.
Shit happens, and if you cannot laugh about it, don bash the people who can.
EDIT: On Topic: I hate the people who thinks the postcount define the worth of your posts or the rights you have in this site. (Postcount==APM==PGTour Rank: Good as a measure, but doesn't define you)
A think that annoys me is people that use lol for no apparent reason. Often in the end of sentences that are mostly observational. "haha" works better becouse it can be spoken but lol cant (not counting children that still go aorund saying it) since you would be busy laughting instead of saying it. I have posted about this before and I guess I'm alone in thinking this but still. Using lol in the right context is still funny like when you parody east users ect.

for reference, my stance is not one that it is ethically correct to post the picture, but rather that it is not ethically incorrect to find the picture funny.

I agree. Some people seem so vulgur and cold. I also dislike people who act like they deserve more praise than other people simply because they have been longer members.

i forgot to add idiots that take games on the net way too seriously. not stop shit talking ( a little shit talking never hurts, but i dont need some idiot claiming im a newb after i lose a 25 minute game), bm, etc. i could have shortened this post by saying anyone in channel clan x17
TL specific This growing habit over the last year where people (usually brown nosers) that quote people (usually admin) with no content of their own One word replies to topics in general - notably "old" Quoting huge amounts of text which thankfully has now been defunked IcedEarth 'news' posts - everything about these posts was annoying, thankfully gone now edit - deleted TL user specific
Teenage forums in general Large portions of text with no paragraphs or spacing in general People that flame for spelling / grammatical errors or just for using "lol" - see Jamers People that always type "rofl" instead of "lol" People that constantly try to type in perfect grammar, especially those who think they know how to use a semi colon Those who never use smileys

Does this exist?
One of the most mentioned things in this thread is that posters with big post counts are arrogant, etc.
But i have never seen this. Honestly. Is this really that rampant?
If i am going to think i'm better than the rest of tl.net, it will have nothing to do with my post count.
Can anyone point me to an example of this? I have seriously never seen this. The only similiar situation is when a new poster posts something and some asshat says he shouldn't post a new thread until he has >100 posts. wtf? My first 100 posts on this website were better than many of my posts in the 1000 ~ 2000 range. Why would it be different for anyone else? The shit that spews from longtime posters mouth is more annoying than new posters - their excuse is that they're new! What about exalted! What about baal! Where the hell is the ban stick?
A CERTAIN GUY WHO REALLY PISSES ME OFF AND GOES "X17" bullshit on me. Fucking annoying little prick, I hope you die with your hands tied behind your back while forty gay black men with 10 inch dicks penetrate your fucking puny anus and emasculate you right in front of your loved ones and watch your family burned alive by the might of god. ANd then when you finally die, I hope satan sodomizes you with sulfur and foot long acid-tainted razors that causes your flesh to burn x1000 on contact. The only image in your head would be filled with the image of your own burning corpse crying and begging for mercy as damned souls of former gay black rapists go rampant all over you. And for all eterntiy, I wish you nothing but suffering in every sense and more. Every conceivible memory you may try to concur, will be replaced by an even more disgusting and putrid taint of homosexuality.
But, I'll forgive you since I raped you that pvp -_-; (NOT GIVING OUT NAMES +_+)
I don't think that the OP should reply to a flamer of his post with a flame of his or her own. Even if the reason is justifiable, one shouldn't fight fire with fire.
Also, i HATE it when you're about to sneeze...THEN IT DOESNT COME!! God, I swear, it's like being rejected sex...
-Reading Fakesteve's posts -Reading LOL or hahaha posts -Reading Hot_Bid's posts -Seeing unfunny photo with unfunny caption being posted -Seeing people kiss Boxer's ass -Seeing any thread involving Ninjas -Reading any thread with a 2-5 page story which turns out to be a waste of time -Baal giving his namesake a bad reputation -People bragging about their sexual activities -Liquiscoop -People who flame other people for having an opinion -Chibi when he's high and/or drunk -Fakesteve's ban immunity -Fakesteve's privileged status of having his own icon -Pornographic, obscene and indecent photos being allowed through the forum censors
