After they say the most heinous stuff and notice that decent people are backing away from them like they just ripped a sour owl piss fart, they'll use the weak "Hey, it was a joke! Lighten up" excuse. I'm just making a useless (I suppose) gesture of an automatic affirmative statement that nothing in my post is intended to annoy anyone. Any particular reader's personal annoyance (and there are six people who have me on their Ignore list) with something I post is more of a bonus that way.
