On: Oregon has legalized human composting

Hey dang, I don't actually understand what the above poster did wrong or why they were downvoted so heavily or why you felt the need to personally reprimand them.

Not saying you or anyone else is wrong for doing so, but I feel like something must be going over my head. Can you enlighten me?

It wasn't a deep move, just a standard response to an unsubstantive comment, perhaps with a small multiplier for subject matter.

If that still doesn't make sense I'm happy to call it a misfire.

Fair enough. I personally found it a macabre and funny yet unoffensive little quip - something to bring a bit of harmless levity to a fairly sober context. It made me chuckle anyway.

If it helps, I'm not sure either. It wasn't a particularly clever joke, and it was a bit gross. I didn't expect to be told off though.

I post that particular moderation line a lot in a very specific kind of context, which this felt like an example of to me - but I didn't mean it to be a big deal, nor to come down hard on you. I'm sorry if it felt that way!
