    Understandable really.

    I do miss the time we could joke about something in a faraway land, and by the time it reached them many months later by word of mouth it would have mutated into something more culturally acceptable. We should never have invented the printing press.

        Punching down? It was intended to be a relatively tame joke about the world have been small for quite a while, and pre-emptively make light of those who would think this “being too easily offended” is a relatively new thing. Im sorry if I failed to communicate this correctly.
