    Otherwise you will end up not being able to say anything as you say someone will get offended about this that or the other.
    Ok it wasn't particularly funny but unless nbt had cancer and you were aware of it I don't think it is offensive to make jokes about cancer or aids or whatever. Whether they are funny or not is a completely different subject and that is a personal thing.


    of course he should have apoligised,

    Personally I dont think I should have had to. It obviously wasnt a pop about anyone having cancer, but to keep the peace and to anyone thsat I truly offended I did.

    Obviously if it was said with malicious intent and was actually directed at somebody who actualy had this disease I would have expected to be punished or at least hasd an infraction, but I do think that the vast majority of people got the joke, maynot have found it funny but still understood it was a joke and not as deliberately intending to verbally assault anyone.

    well id rather not be seen take sides here but i do think the apology was necessary and set a good example as a moderator. It shows that our peers can even write something in haste or anger, admit it and then move on.

    I thought it was very apt as there are some charecters on here who are a cancer on this site.




    such following posts as this one above leads me to believe that it wasnt really meant with jesting intent.

    I'm sorry but unless you have cancer and doozer knew about it I dont think the comment was particularly offensive. I think we need to gave a little bit of a sense of humour.
    Fair enough it wasn't hilarious but but it wasn't offensive either

    Cancer is something that infects its host and eats away at good cells
    some people infect this site destroying some of the good works here
