I read the discussion here before I ran into the jokes on rec.humor.
Certainly individual responses are subjective, and the replies posted
here seemed very level-headed.

My feelings changed upon encountering the jokes.  I am nauseated to
even recall them: let's just say they were more about child mutilation
than simple "abuse".  They were more repulsive than any "dead baby"
joke I had ever read, by... how to describe it? Tens of orders of
magnitude outside normal rec.humor.

Anyway, I understand the viceral response of the original poster.
