That remark, in this thread about potentially offensive humor, is 
deliciously amusing, coming from someone who a few days ago publicly 
asked, in this same thread, to censor someone who happens to use a kind of 
humor he dislikes (a dark humor a la Louis C.K.) from this mailing list.

FWIW, I've been the direct target of his humor, and never felt offended; 
on the contrary, I found it funny.
