Reply #6: I wouldn't doubt that...

A lot of people really seem to have no idea how widespread this has become, if some of the people I've tried to politely lecture on the point are telling the truth at all.

In some thread yesterday I asked the person making the jokes if they really thought it was funny, and someone else came along and told me to lighten up. I had to walk around the building before I even tried to respond to that. We had a decent exchange afterward, but how it got there shouldn't be necessary.

I'm still pissed. This is becoming a very sore point with me that will reflect on how I view this entire forum. I say that merely as an observation. I'm pretty much an ultra-liberal on most issues. This nonsense has not left a good taste in my mouth about the philosophy of some other supposed liberals. What kind of impression is it going to leave others?
