Copy-pasting jokes from a joke website that we didn't create in the first place for the sole purpose of ranting ironically against SOE who we felt wronged us in some way really just puts us right up there with southerners who drag homosexuals behind pickup trucks. I mean, seriously, it is a really fine line. Almost the same thing.
As a result, I make it a point to tell no jokes about anybody, at any time. And if I hear one in a group of people, while they are laughing I make it a point to cross my arms, and suck in a slow breath of air through my nose so that it makes a little wheezing noise. Then, in a very loud voice, I say, "GOOD DAY, SIR!" and stalk slowly out of the room without bending my knees, so they can all know how indignant I am, and they'll feel bad and never make jokes at the expense of anybody, ever, again.
First of all, you didn't simply drag them up to rant "ironically" against SOE. Also, why's it ironic that you post racist jokes on SOE's forums? Yeah, that's a real display of irony right there. Is it ironic because SOE is constantly racist but they don't tolerate racist jokes on their forums? Because I've never heard anything about that ;). And ooh, oh no, they wronged you so incredibly painfully, so you decided to become a band of vigilantes and right the wrong. Now that's the irony right there. And no, maybe it doesn't make you quite as bad as those groups of people who actually carry out prejudiced lynch activities in public (notice how i refrained from saying "southerners" there?), but it certainly does make you look like an idiot.
Also, I didn't order you to stop reciting prejudiced jokes, I expressed my distaste for them. I, you know, stated my opinion? As far as I'm concerned, my last post was completely valid. That's how I think when it comes to jokes that are prejudiced in their punchlines.
I actually laughed considerably loudly at that last paragraph. So quick to mock, aren't we? Maybe you should take the time to read properly, instead of taking something out of context. I've made it quite clear that I can't force you to stop doing anything, and I'm not actually too bothered about if you do it or not. I just look at the subject differently.
