Hi Kelly---don't take it too personally--this has been a recurring source
of discussion for years.....
in general, a reasonable (??) amount of humor etc. is welcomed by most
members, who feel it lightens their load, is a relief from a steady diet of
medical posts, etc. We hope to keep a good balance, & to try to do the
impossible---please everyone! SPARKLE was started when there seemed to be
an overload of silliness, jokes, pigs, etc. (long before flamingoes) .
The MOST important thing is for ALL of us to try to use NON-PD for subject
headings---we can add HUMOR, or other identifying titles as well. I didn't
save your joke, but I think I chuckled over it---not sure if you headed it
"NON-PD--HUMOR" though. Hope this clarifies a little--it's a grey area
for sure. Look at all the time we've just spent arguing re: sexist humor !
