There are all sorts of things that "aren't something to joke about" but in some ways, the only way to deal with them is to joke about them. The alternative is to declare what people are allowed to say and what they are forbidden to say. This is anathema. Whilst I am disgusted by, for instance, pictures that trophy hunters insist upon posting (the sort of pics that Gervais regularly loses his shit over, on Twitter), I draw the line at stating, "My sensibilities mean that you are not allowed to express yourself publicly in a fashion I personally find distressing or offensive". For me, the lesser evil is to allow shitheads to say and post stuff rather than to create a censorship culture that, once it has taken hold, will damn us all via mission-creep to "right-think" and "right-speak", based upon rules for which there is no general consensus.
You are of course, right; Cvnt.... He put something on that I found offensive and I put a NUKE on him, rather than taking it on the chin he decided to see if he could get another rise by posting a pathetic comment in response to a perfectly acceptable image of mine, so I called him on it... simples. Sometimes people don't like my view and they VERY quickly let me know with return fire or special likes. I just explained why it's a slippery slope and the depth of my feelings on the subject.
I might! When I was 44* and my daughter was with child with my now 5 year old granddaughter, I got asked for ID at a bar/club. I didn’t have any with me but the bouncer eventually let me in when I showed him WhatsApps from her where I was telling her I would buy the car seat and pram. * It was during a brief period where I was clean shaven so the salt and pepper in my beard wasn’t showing.
