Shembala,
There was once a comment made about someone's ex-girlfriend with which the ex-boyfriend disagreed. He in turn made a sentimental plea asking for the offending post to be removed because it would upset her and give her an unfavorable opinion about him. Why should the person who posted the the message in question not respond by saying, "Well people get upset, deal with it. I can't be held responsible for some other person's emotional overreaction; I'm above such sentimentality. I shall keep it posted. To do anything else would be to be untrue to myself and rationality.
I will of course leave out the part where he became frantic when his post was not responded to immediately. Not to mention that he seemed on the verge of losing his mind. Of course I would assume you would condemn such exaggerated emotionalism and tell the fellow to go jump in the lake; that such sentimental appeals do not move you. Right? Now that is what I call funny. I guess we just have different taste in humor! No foul no play.
Just a question. Which do you find funnier: a little girl dying of cancer in excruciating pain and being taken from her father, or some forty years old guy brutally raping a church going 13 years old girl making her feel so ashamed because she thinks that somehow she brought it on that she can no longer look her father in the face because she knows how much she will disgust him if he knew?
I'm sure I will find your answer amusing.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
