You know, I get irritated every time I read these stupid jokes, but the nature of HotRod's joke (the disrespect towards his wife in particular) and the timing of it, just a few posts after my heartfelt post about my children and the very important recent event in my life (the birth of my daughter) just was too much.  I get really tired of the immaturity on these forums.  It's a serious lack of respect when people post this crap everywhere.  I mean, if folks are justified in getting offended because someone sells a different make of Glock in Pima County months after Gabrielle Giffords was shot with a Glock, I think I have room to get offended because I devoted a thread to good news and a particular post to some of the most heartfelt feelings I've shared on the net, only to have it shared with a filthy post and a guy who thinks I'm the jerk because I don't like what he had to say.  I'm happy to let it go.  I usually ignore the immaturity from others of you as it is.  But that was pretty low in my mind, and I feel the need to share at least why it bugs me so much.  Those of you who contribute to it (DuracellEnergizer, Antcufaalb, Leonardo, Bingowings, DominicCobb, Neglify I think), I am disappointed that you feel that this little chuckle is more worthy of defending and in fact deserving of further joking.  I get it, it's the Internet, but I always figured we at least had some sort of mutual respect going here where we tried to honor people's feelings on matters in at least some instances.  I'm sorry so many don't see it that way.
