Ah, Jack, what am I to do with you? You impute to me more than I've said. Yes, I did say that some folks here are thin skinned, but I did not imply, nor did I mean to imply that anybody here is a bigot; nor can I figure out how you could infer that conclusion. I can only believe that you missed the point of the story which was (and is) that some of you (generic) only find the humor when you (generic) think the other side is the butt of that humor, but not when your (generic) side is. In the New Yorker case, the other side actually was the butt of the satire, but you (generic) failed to understand that.

God, I hope that's now clear even to you (specifically).

What I did in that long ago class is not the point of my anecdote, and has no bearing on what I said.
