About your second response, I think there's a big difference in what some people percieve as humour and what others see as nastiness.

I guess all humour has its roots in satire, but maybe I just prefer more subtle forms of it and that's why I find your overt and explicit comments rather base.

I think the difference between funny and being a bully is that if even the intended victim can see the humour then it's harmless, but the minute you're getting amusment out of someone else's pain, discomfort or sadness...even anger, then from what i know of bullying, that makes you a bully.
