I'm w/Bonni. I think jokes ought to be funny, as a sort of minimum. And hurting people may be funny for the guy with the bat, but many of the rest of us are not amused, unless the guy being treated to the humor gets control of the bat and returns the favor. Anyone who didn't expect Acadia to take this personally is tone deaf or permanently immature. It was obviously aimed at her, whether it was a "joke" or not, and the "humor" was pure meanness that deserved her first reaction. When I read the first post, the first thing I thought was, "What kind of ungrateful, self-important SOB would attack Acadia like this?" If she had been in on the joke, that would be different, by the way. If it really was an April Fools' gag, including her so she could "defend herself" as part of the alleged sendup would have been a bit less stupid. A "joke" with humor that depends on harm is not funny, period. And "Just kidding!!" is a cop-out smelling dubiously of bullshit. M PS: Y'all understand that this post is just a silly ole April Fools' joke, right? Just kidding? No harm done? Right? Piffle.
