<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Truth be told, I don't think that bunch of losers is really a threat.<br><br>I just don't like the way they "joke" about killing and torturing people.<br>Maybe you think that's hilarious, but I think it appalling.<br><br>If any poster on here made similar statements, or "jokes", they'd be banned.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br>Yeah, they probably would be banned, just like if someone came on here and called for the murder and abuse of homosexuals because they don't know how to read The Holy Bible correctly.<br><br>I've never joked on here about killing or death, because I understand that certain types of humor have their place, and here is not one of those places. I don't know if LAUGHING AT DEATH is so bad, but hey, if you think so, that's your problem -- or business -- or something. I make my best efforts to follow the rules here, and beyond that, when someone reasonably appeals to me regarding what they think is extreme behavior on my part -- I listen and take it to heart whether I agree or not.<br><br>You've demonstrated to this point that you're not capable of making the distinction between a group of individuals and the individuals themselves. That, at least to me, is unreasonable.<br><br>I'm sorry if you don't like the same jokes that I like. Truthfully, I see those jokes amounting to nothing more than marketing efforts, and support them as such because I appreciate the underlying message. Beyond that, I don't pay them much mind at all. If you don't like it -- OK!<br><br>AUM-SALLACK-A-LEGUME,<br><br>Hugh Argot Thorpe <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"A crooked stick will cast a crooked shadow."</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
