Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and, similarly, what some find humourless is extremely funny to others. For me the boring posts by apparently boring people was what made the more outrageous posts so funny. If individuals took offence they should remember that in responding they were adding to the humour.
Whilst I accept the need to keep prune posts within reasonably boundaries, nobody is going to influence whether I laugh or cry and I would prefer the moderators to stick to legal principles in determining what to allow. Just because one group of people find something offensive, that is not reason enough to deny others the opportunity to read it. If that becomes the norm on prune our future discussions had better be only about neutral subjects like the weather.
