Harryc locked the thread before I could reply, so I’ll do so here. “Offensive” is too mild a word.

As a rule, I don’t believe mods should delete posts or lock threads based on their content. That thread is the exception to the rule. The suggestions for dealing with the issue in your post which led to the thread being locked were both cruel and criminal and utterly without redeeming value. They were neither humorous nor helpful.

Thanks to Harryc for his reponse to the situation.

Thank you, PETA.

It was a joke, all be it in poor taste, a joke. The last joke I read in this forum being about Taliban geese, I'd say it was a mild joke.
