Not to put too fine a point on it, but, if the standard is to be "good taste", posts will go unposted and there will be less entertainment throughout the land. The social contract here is to avert eyes from offense, even when it would be easy not to.
All of those tasteless Terri Schiavo jokes, at a time when my mom was lying on her gurney in a coma, and did I jump in and protest my offense? No. That would be unfair to the board. You guys had no way of knowing, and I can't hold you to a standard that assumes malice without evidence.
(Of course, that's all bull. Right?)
Civil discourse has its place.
Waaaaaayy over there, preferably . . . It's no fun to have to watch yourself all the time.
