More of a complaint than a rant; it's about you.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Joke made. Offense taken. Hilarity resulted.

I know I offended the hell out of Cram yesterday.

Why wasn't that "hilarity"?

Well, that was an open attack and not an attempt at humor. I see a big difference there.

So, if I'd honked a bicycle horn and thrown a cream pie while I did it, it would be okay?

Are you deliberately being obtuse? You damn well know the difference.

Nope.  I do not.  Because I attacked a particular person, it isn't funny.  If I attack an entire race or gender, it's funny.  I don't understand that.

Bullshit, no race or gender was attacked and you know it. If there hadn't been such a over the top reaction to a dumb joke the entire thing would have gone away. In true Discordian fashion we merely reacted  to the reaction.

So, it's like when FB Discordians spammed everyone so hard they left, and they're still mocking Twid's departure a year later?  They just reacted to the reaction, and spammed even harder.

Was that funny?

And if had a reaction to a "nigger" joke, and someone got offended, would you immediately tell 10 more "nigger" jokes?

Depends. Is "Yakety Sax" playing in the background?

Roger, out of respect of our long friendship, I am stepping away from this conversation.

That's a special case.

I take full responsibility for the dumb joke. But in my defence, it was just a dumb joke. 170 posts ago. If I'd known it was going to be so thoroughly dissected, I would have made sure it was funnier. And far more fucking offensive.

Sounds reasonable.  I still don't understand, though.

Okay.  I think I understand.  We're totse2, now. 

[Cain]

Roger, you just don't understand.  If only you could GET TUFF you would see...

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Roger, you just don't understand.  If only you could GET TUFF you would see...

Yes, that seems to be the problem.  I'm not TUFF.

We should start a few threads about "muzziscum" or "mexicants" or whatnot, just to get into the swing of things.

But I still don't understand why the Cram thing wasn't funny, by these standards.  I mean, it was on him to GET TUFF, wasn't it?

All this goes way over the head of a simple preacher man.

[The Good Reverend Roger]

Also, apparently we ban people for disagreeing with us now, Cain.

Why didn't I get the memo on that?

You're just going to keep poking at me, aren't you?

[Cain]

Actually, that's a good sign.  It shows we are on the road to true TUFFness.

I cant possibly think why Roger would think the completely unprovoked and uncalled for suggestion that he would ban you for disagreeing would irk him.
