Dan; I have a very evolved sense of humor actually...and am very tolerant and open-minded.

Believe it or not.

I think it is all too easy for someone to say whatever the hell they want in cyberspace (in a forum like this for example) and when someone takes offense to it, say, "But I was only kidding! You have no sense of humor! Lighten up!"

As if the offender is always and by default the king/queen of subtlety and innuendo and wit, and the offendee is always an unsophisticated and uptight pollyanna.

I understand humor fine; it's bigotry that baffles and angers me.
