I missed this & the last one. Not on here or involved as full time as i used to be. Probably for the best given my gob.
Best i stay out of such antics, happy to leave you all to it nowadays!
That said, i dunno what the joke was or it's level of bad taste suffice to say i can see the funny side of taboo topics that in real terms offend me as much as other folk.
Humour is a strange & varied animal.

Sad to say , you are quite right. I know nothing of the origin of this thread, but can understand, by my own experiences, how people react.

I remember, a situation with my dad, who passed away 30 years ago this last week aged 58, and, call me a wuss, but I still miss him dearly. We still laugh about the following incident now in his absence.
My mother wanted her piano moved and me and my brother helped dad do it. Unfortunately the piano went over his foot, causing massive swelling, and the loss of his toenail

But all I could do at the time, whilst he hopped up and down the hallway swearing and cursing, was to roll around the floor laughing

Sometimes, we all laugh at others misfortune, and me being one of the worst, we must stop and try to think of others before we 'take action'.
To appologise shows humility and status........to accept an appology is equal !!!!!!!!!!!!
