Oddipus Rex,
You wrote,[...defining a whole group of people...]. Thank you for introducing this concept here. If I was to be allowed to make a rule page for these type of posts in question here, I would state that it is not OK to post anything that [...defines a whole group of people...] unless the post meets the following conditions, and then I would list the conditions, if any, that could qualify for an exemption.
Then there is the concept that [...if it is funny, to some,...does that excuse it?...]
Thanks for bringing into focus what I believe is the central issues here, since we are posting on a mental-health board and the potential for some to be dehumanized by these type of posts could be a factor in limiting. or prohibiting, their postings.
Thanks again,
Lou
