Come on, people are making fun of tons of things everyday, including many people who died sooner than they should have. I'll totally agree that this joke was misplaced and that it is not funny for everyone (but jokes are never funny for everyone) ; but I also think that whether or not a joke is terrible or not is strictly up to personal interpretation and sensibility, and that no one has the right to condemn a joke as immoral. | ||

I think that I can definitely judge a joke immoral. And so can anybody else for that matter. In this case, this was clearly a terrible forum for making that joke. | ||

What I implied was that your condemnation of a joke as immoral couldn't be applied to everyone, because every person as different moral standards that are a consequence of education, culture and personal history. | ||

I said 'slightly' because the line to getting banned in that particular LR was incredibly high. Also I can think of many worst sentences. This was a morbid and inappropriate joke completely deserving of a ban, but it was still a joke. Sentences of similar calibre, but with intent and venom directed at other people are infinitely worse. | ||

If people don't know you for making that kind of joke you come off like an insensitive dick generally. Know your audience I guess. | ||

The "high horse" camp should really try to understand that their attitude of knowing what is right and what isn't is incredibly arrogant. I see this approach a lot in discussions, not only on TL: when someone doesn't like my opinion, they just make theirs a moral standard and then all discussion is prevented. Yeah, TL mods can ban for whatever they want, it's their raison d'etre, but that doesn't mean that does things are somehow "objectively wrong". The guy's dead and thus definitely doesn't care, to the full extent how not caring can be realised, and I dare to say that most of the people offended by the joke wouldn't care about him much had he not died. Also, people die every day, in copious quantities and nobody gives a shit, so this attitude of jumping around because of death of specific people is absurdly hypocritical. | ||

What really grind my gears is when people start pretending as if their liking of things is something coming from a higher level of existence. Your morality is not automatically better then mine just because it is stricter. Sure. Just a bit tired of people fighting for the right of everyone to be jerks to everyone else. | ||

A joke about a certain mental disorder immediately pops up in my head but I''ll keep it to myself. Me too I'm sorry if you two felt that I was defending his right to be a jerk, as that wasn't my intent at all | ||
