You demean others by patronizingly assuming that they don't really mean what they say. I take your point, but that applies only to their earnest statements. for that to apply here, we'd have to have an earnest statement. She says it was a joke and she's entitled to the benefit of the doubt as long as it's remotely plausible, for which I have argued. Further, "assuming that they don't really mean what they say" is not the same as "acknowledging their idiocy." There's nothing respectful about acknowledging anyone as an idiot. I gave you the respect of assuming you meant what you said and you said "idiocy."
