It looks like a joke to me. A stupid and offensive one, certainly. Not the first time I see something stupid and/or offensive posted here. Except that what seems offensive to me may not be to someone else, including the poster. Recluse seems to suffer from an inability to realize what effect some of his posts may have on others. Usually when this is pointed out to him, he tries to makes things better, as he has done in this case. His posts have made me angry a few times too, but I try hard not to post when I am angry, because experience has taught me that it will only result in making others angry at me, and possibly start an escalation in offensiveness and verbal violence.
If we start censoring every post that feels offensive to someone, pretty soon this board will be empty. This is the Internet. If you don't want to read anything that may make you angry, you should stay away from it, but that would be a shame, because it can be a wonderful place.
How about accepting that some things, some people here will make you angry, often without meaning to, and try to deal with it? I know it's not easy and I don't always manage myself, but I also try to learn from my mistakes. Attacking someone never solves anything, even when you feel you were attacked first. It just makes you an attacker and triggers an attack in response. Nothing is solved and everybody gets hurt.
