“I calls ’em like I sees ’em”
I am thinking, as the thread mod' , a little humor is so innocuous, what can go wrong? Seems as if this thread went a
bit wayward. Humorlessly. Then again, it is enlightening to see friends rallying for friends when in need. So be it. Wherever. Whenever.
But the thing is, when the smoke & fire die down, this thread is still titled “Just For A laugh”. As a point of argument, if a 'joke' were to
be presented to a, lets say, a comedy theatre, comedy night, wherever, would Shaun's joke be considered funny? That would be a
stretch of one's imagination. I mean even here, that post is dissected, sliced & diced a few times, as a matter for discussion...a long
reach. I did not see the laughter.
Please note that I did not censer, modify, delete Shaun's post.
The membership can be the judge & jury of all things posted. I stay religiously within the realm of what is expected of me as the thread
mod. I did not get personal. I addressed Shaun's post appropriately.
Besides, as a frequent visitor and a near neighbor to Canada, the obvious #1 stupidity is American beer. Always was. Always will be.
I think Canadian fathers must tell their growing son's about the dangers of life, the #1 being the shitty Budweiser brands of weak
sipped beers.
In regards to DavidE's “shot across my bow” statement of “moralization”...”unwarranted censorship”, that in itself was a good laugh!
Lets say, as the thread mod, that I “generalized” Shaun's un- funny post within the site's behavioral guidelines.
