I'm gonna jump in and follow LSUFreek's post about mean-spirited posts on this board in hopes that now that Freek has spoken, others will listen.
I see people posting on here about fat cheerleaders, ugly kids, etc. Why? So you can laugh? So you can try to make others laugh? At what expense?
Just the mere possibility that, for example, a cheerleader, who a poster is pointing out is overweight, gets told to visit this board will see the cruelty in the worse sense. These what you'd consider no-name people you are mocking could be traumatized for your feeble attempt to laugh. Why is that worth it?
And then I see people posting pictures of little kids with bad haircuts, mocking them. Seriously? When did an adult making fun of an 8 year old become funny? I don't care if it's the parents fault that aided in getting that child its bad haircut. It's flat out cruel to mock him/her and shows the levels of cruelty some posters in this community can go to for a simple laugh.
Freek's example of what is funny and what is not funny hit it spot on. You don't need to be on a soapbox to make or understand these points. You just need to have empathy for those you're mocking and imagine if they saw your cruel comments, how would they react?

Let's not fall into the trap of positioning anyone here as the morality leader of this board. I have no problem whatsoever with putting Freek at the top of the farking chain here because the guy flat out deserves it. However, comments such as "now that Freek has spoken..." seem to indicate a positioning of everyone else as being on lower levels (not relating to farking abilities).
As for humor, I, personally, pretty much take the Trey Parker and Matt Stone approach - either it is all okay or nothing is okay. If someone posts a pic of a little kid in a soccer uniform, asks this board for a personal request and I then fark that kid in the bucket (from the source pic of the little black kid holding the watermelon in the bucket), that's the humor and cleverness of farking - changing the physical natures of pics (to often create absurd situations).
If people want me to stop such "insensitive" farking, then fine...but I'll also stop putting in my free time (so givingly while asking nothing in return) on satisfying personal requests here.
