> Lou you know we are friends right? I'd never do a thing to hurt you or your feelings. No not this joke in particular any joke that in someones opinion could be funny. I do get that if someone is sensitive to their disability or religion they could get offended hence maybe a joke trigger of content? By the way I have many Jewish friends. Who knows with my German background maybe I am Jewish also??? Religion is a topic isn't it for the Faith board? Lou you're my buddy, my friend same to me. Maybe the meaning isn't the same to others. But to me it is. Love Phillipa
Phillipa,
You wrote,[...No not this joke in particular (but) any joke that in someone(')s opinion could be funny...they could get offended..maybe a joke trigger of content?...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean here. If you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. If the joke has as a subject person a class of people that are used for amusement, how could posting that in the subject line, if that is what you are wanting to mean by a trigger of content, be in accordance with the mission of the forum if there could be members that could be offended when they read it?
B. If you are wanting to mean that one can post any joke here that they think is funny by having in the subject line some sort of warning as to the content, then could they also post what could lead a Jew to feel put down/accused or other anti-Semitic statements by posting in the subject line the nature of the content of the text? If they could not post that type of post by doing that, then could you post here your rationale for the joke that could lead someone to feel offended to be allowed to be posted with the trigger warning in the subject line while the other would not be allowed?
