> Irony isn't necessarily *un*supportive (and I can think of some situations where it could be actively supportive). I certainly don't see it as something that should be banned.
Did I ever say I thought it was *necessarily* unsupportive? It's not absolutely contraindicated, it just has a low "supportive index". :-)
> as to how other people *feel*, I don't think it's fair or reasonable to expect us to be able to predict that.
I know it's not always easy and no one's perfect. But it still may be a lot to expect. Maybe think of it as an inclusion criterion?
> And if we really can't say anything that might offend anyone...well, it seems obvious to me that this is far too sweeping and would rule out just about anything that anyone wanted to say.
You'd agree, wouldn't you, that there have been at least a couple things that people have said here that I haven't ruled out? :-)
