Doesn't matter, it was a bad one.

Yup!!!

The inclusion of one word changes the whole meaning.

j/k means just kidding, just kidding means i was just kidding. if you dont know what kidding means then look it up.

ironic that that complaint was your first post ever.... perhaps you are another outlaw trying to hate??? either way who cares and lighten up.

Don't care. It's still pretty insensitive.

He’ll be killed right on the street if he’s in Asia. (No kidding) This kind of person is useless.

CLiang - Welcome to the forum, and I hope you will continue to read the site and even contribute if interested. If you've been around a while, you know that we're typically a laid back and friendly crowd.

curegeorg - Some of us who have corresponded with you since your arrival in this forum have come to more readily recognize your quirks and mannerisms, making it easier us for us to look past the occasional trollish quip, but that doesn't relieve you of a need to think before you post. The original comment here was in poor taste pure and simple, and the "j/k" at the end was not a good balance for such a tacky comment. CLiang was entirely within his rights to register in order to critique your attempt at humor, and to do so without being called "another outlaw trying to hate." I'd suggest that you to step up to the plate here and acknowledge that the original comment could easily have been seen as needlessly offensive.

No need for him to step up. Block his IP or simply disable his account would much faster. He does nothing. It is a shame to let him stay in this forum.

poor taste indeed.

The Outlaw Saloon is meant to be a safe place for the discussion of topics
based around the general subject of home theater. As such, we cannot, and will
not tolerate any posts that are offensive to any racial, ethnic, religious
group or anyone's personal beliefs. Sometimes one person's humor may go over the
line, regardless of whether or not any ill intent was meant. The initial
message in this thread, to our minds, does go over the thin line the divides humor
and offensive behavior.

Accordingly, we are locking this thread with the warning to all that we
reserve the right to bar Saloon access to anyone who posts messages that are in
violation of our rules. PLEASE engage your brain before typing. Fun is fun, but
please be warned that we take racial comments seriously in these parts!
