I'm the one who posted it. I forgot my 'cookie' ... but does it really matter.

I don't give a rat's poop what jokes people tell around the saloon table. My concern is that there are people arriving here on the Cat for the first time, or even existing members of the the Cat who could be experiencing this tragedy themselves, or one of their loved one who has lost a limb. This is a very difficult emotional and physical adjustment. The Mudcat is a public (and I stress public) forum. I think it should exhibit at least some sensitivity and respect. If it doesn't so be it.

I dunno about anyone here ... but I wouldn't want to lose limb, or wish it upon anyone. I sure as hell would not think it's funny.

All I'm doing is expressing my views. Call me a do gooder, duddley doright or whatever, I don't give a shit ... but at this point in my life I have learned to respect the sensitivities of others, including people I don't know.
