So I can appreciate what you're doing with the warning. But with such a stern tone, and before any "clowns" actually cracked any inappropriate jokes, the site starts to feel a bit uptight.

Mind you, I'm totally on the same page with you, it's not a funny thing to joke about. And I'm not a mod, so maybe there is a reason, to which I'm not privy, explaining why the site needs to be so mindful of it's Ps and Qs. I guess the point of this rambling post is just to wonder if such a stern tone is really necessary.

No love lost though.
If I was to begin pointing fingers at those who have made inappropriate comments about former Redskins, I would start with myself. The boundaries for such behavior are pretty lenient here. I wanted to make sure everyone knows that such boundaries do, however, exist - and that cracking wise about sexual abuse is way past them.

Nearly everyone has a story about telling jokes at a party, when all of the sudden someone breaks out the inappropriate racist or sexist or fill-in-the-blank-phobic joke. The whole gathering is spoiled by one person's idiotic insensitivity. This was to remind everyone not to be that guy.
