Hey.
I understand about finding it funny...
But I also understand about people feeling offended.
Especially given the sexual theme.
I don't feel very good (I feel disgusted in fact) when someone makes a sexual joke at my expense.
Some people are tougher. I used to have a girlfriend that would feel kinda flattered and she would get a kick out of it. But not me.
I guess the idea is that we should be careful to be sensitive to how other people are likely to feel in response to what we post.
I wonder whether the poster was intending to make a joke at the expense of the moderators / whether the poster was intending to make the moderators feel embarrassed... No way of knowing I guess... But I'm glad other posters aren't allowed to make that joke at my expense...
