Understand that jokes about this will not be tolerated. There will be no warnings other than this one. Posts will be deleted upon first read, and if I have anything to say about it (and I believe that I do) the user will be banned.

Have a pleasant weekend.

While I appreciate the serious nature of this issue, I'm not so sure such a stern warning is necessary, especially a preemptive warning. I do believe that most Warpathers know not to go there and crack jokes about such a sensitive issue. I also understand that within any group, even within the Warpath, there are going to be a few clowns. I'm sure that was the audience you intended to resonate with, Brud. So I can appreciate what you're doing with the warning. But with such a stern tone, and before any "clowns" actually cracked any inappropriate jokes, the site starts to feel a bit uptight.

Mind you, I'm totally on the same page with you, it's not a funny thing to joke about. And I'm not a mod, so maybe there is a reason, to which I'm not privy, explaining why the site needs to be so mindful of it's Ps and Qs. I guess the point of this rambling post is just to wonder if such a stern tone is really necessary.

No love lost though.
