    I'm pretty sure I was the first person to make a wheelchair joke about PLSS. I believe that to be true because I remember agonizing over it. The post was hilarious but I wasn't sure I wanted to cross that line.

    I ended up deciding to do it because I am a Half Brain. And, god dammit, that's what we do. But I thought of it, at the time, as inclusive. I've made personal jokes about posters being overweight, the Race of ones wife, about having sex with a posters daughter, about a posters parents not loving them and about military service. Those may not be equal to wheelchair jokes but they were personal attacks. I thought of it as treating PLSS just like everyone else and hoped he would see it that way.

    Now, I don't blame PLSS for complaining about it. It clearly turned into something more venomous than I had intended. And he had that right even if it had not. It became something that, at times, even made me cringe. And I am a horrible, horrible human being.

    DJ has done a very good job of giving this board and it's posters freedom. But with that freedom comes responsibility. HHB 1.0 is an example of what happens when posters don't take that responsibility. That doesn't mean everyone should toe the line. Lord knows I'm a habitual line stepper. But at the very least, when the person that gave us all of this, asks you to stop doing something, you should stop. DJ has earned that much.

    APAG is a hipster. He's made jokes about overweight people , posters parents, and military service. That's what hipsters do. If he denies it, being a hipster, that means he's a hipster.

    The big point to this thread is that if you are easily offended, you are a smooth crotch loser and should DIAFF. But, we do have some special snowflakes and we should be attentive to their needs (citrus).
