Re: Jokes, ad-hominem attacks, and sensitivity

FWIW, I thought Re: RFC: Acme::BottomsUp qualified as egregiously offsensive. Offensiveness has a lot to do with perceived intent. But I thought the discussion under that node was interesting, and, for one reason or another, upvoted everything there.

Do you wear mixtures of wool and linen? I don't.

If "offensiveness has a lot to do with perceived intent" and you thought it was "egregiously offsensive" then I suggest you recalibrate your intent-o-meter. It is faulty. The use of the word "christ" in common speech is just a figure of speech. It means nothing.	[reply]

Since you are pretending to not understand what I'm talking about, I'll do the same: I'm delighted to hear that you'll be removing the "Galloping gay" from your post.	[reply]
