Hmm...so it must'nt have been me who wrote;

If you really don't mind what is thought of you off the back of a joke, stop going on about it like a wounded victim. You're annoyed at Goatboy's comment? Fair enough. So stop complaining at everyone else about it.
Shame none of you are rising to the bait though. I'm surprised and impressed actually. If this had been a couple of months back Light, you'd have been well off the handle by now.
Ah well, nevermind eh?

No, no. My bad taste jokes are funny.
Comedy = Tragedy + Distance
However, bloated corpses still being pulled out of the water does not equal distance. I'm perhaps a worse culprit than anyone as I have a very sick sense of humour (I'm of the same mindset as Light, if you don't laugh about such things, you have to cry) but I know when and where to make such jokes and it's not on a public forum full of people I don't know. Would it just be a harmless joke if someone on the forums had a relative die over there? Would it still be harmless if it had happened in England?
Maybe this is overreacting, but you see my point. Personally, I think you only post these things for a reaction - you brought up the exact same topic soon after the tsunami with a badly-timed joke that was in very poor taste, so you obviously didn't take everyone's reaction on board.
In other words, you're trolling. And it wasn't funny.

Yup.
All the highly offensive and moral stuff aside, it was a crap joke.
