It's the reaction afterward that most people (including myself) object to.



So you were deliberately lying then?


No.


Your words were "These are the guys who made a bad taste rape joke". But now you admit that is not true, and you are upset at their response to the histrionic reaction to the comic. You said something false about someone you don't like, by accident? Did you slip and hit the keyboard and that particular combination of characters was produced by pure co-incidence?


Go away troll.


It's not trolling whenever somebody says something that you don't want to hear.


I wasn't deliberately lying. I said "no", because IMO the joke was in bad taste. I wasn't particularly upset about it though, I could see the context for the initial strip however while I didn't think it was funny or particularly clever, I didn't really find it appalling or upsetting in any way.

You can say something is in poor taste and not get outraged you know. Go watch Meet the Feebles sometime. Or Clerks.

Hence my "Go away troll" comment.

Interesting though that my simple "No" got voted down. I put it down to cognitive dissonance.
