I thought good advice I heard here was...hey, lighten up Dagney! Everything I said was clearly in a joking manner. And everyone likes jokes, if they are offensive or not, that's what's been drilled into my mind from the Cellar.

There you go, speaking for everyone again. Apparently that's not a lesson that's sinking into your head easily. What's not offensive to one person, may be offensive to another, and fwiw, I don't enjoy being offended.

Jokes are one thing - calling women 'broads' and painting them with a stereotypical brush is something different. (We don't all sit around and cry and eat ice cream when we're sad) I find it offensive, and feel it's my right to speak up when something offends me.

But no matter, my time here is quickly coming to a screeching end. The signal to noise ratio is way off, and I'm sick of shoveling through the shit to find a pearl or two.
