Re: Jokes, ad-hominem attacks, and sensitivity

Given the choice between trying to be (mostly) safe for work (where many members on here are presumably using Perl) or allowing inflammatory off-topic posts like the one referenced then I'll vote for the former.

I'm confused; there wasn't any off-topic post that I saw. What is "the one referenced"?	[reply]

The second of the two nodes linked in the OP. Decidedly both inflammatory and OT. We're building the house of the future together.	[reply]

The thread it started is really OT, but the node itself isn't; and as you can see the inflammatory aspect of it is really a question of both opinion and vocabulary.	[reply]

That makes no sense at all to me; if it said: Galloping leopard frogs that's hideous! Well done! would you call it OT? I don't see the offensive (objectively so, since some were offended) words in the original as making it OT.	[reply]
