Humor is a form of self expression intended to reflect in part or whole a persons mood, idealogies, sentiments, feelings, etc. Why should the net dictate what type of humor is to be placed within net.jokes. As a rule, jokes which are likely to be viewed and thought of as being offensive to others should be considerate enough to ROT13 the material so that net users have a choice of whether they wish to view the material or not to. Other than this I canb see no reason for policing the material which is contained within net.jokes. You want JUST clean and JUST cute - fine - don't read material which may be offensive to you. If you do then JUST I G N O R E it. I guess it's like TV. If you don't like what's on TV then don't watch it. Sorry for not placing this within net.jokes.d.
