OT - Diana, thank you for your thoughtful comments. However,you apparently did not see the insulting joke that started this bru-ha. And apparently Big Dog (or someone else) found the joke sufficiently offensive to remove it. While parts of the joke were funny, the comments comparing women (of a particular ethnic group) unfavorably to a donkey were clearly insulting, demeaning, and way out of line. And not funny. While there is plenty of room for tweeners (neither inoffensive or highly offensive)in humor, there are jokes that are down right mean, truly offensive and are not harmless. I have always respected kollmhn, I was shocked that he posted the joke. >>Is it ever appropriate to take offense when no offense was intended?<< I generally agree with this statement, however, in this case I think there was intent to offend. JMO Regards - Cy
