Making a new post because I assume if I edit I'll be ninja'd. Malph raises a good point in that you really can never tell if someone is genuinely joking about things like that or not. If someone is genuinely intent on doing something like that...well, you get the picture. Though most probably aren't that disturbed to do so, it's worth raising a stink over for each situation in order to take preventative measures. Note how whenever this happens, people always say stuff like, "No one noticed the signs!" But when says or does similar stuff with no intention of acting on it, a vocal minority always cries censorship.

Insert witty and clever quip here. My page, as the database hates my handle.

Eh. Like I said; if someone posts stuff to facebook and gets reported for it, they entirely deserved it.

If you're joking about it, you should only be saying it to people you trust to understand when you're joking.

And hey, I'm plenty sensitive. I'm just also incredibly blunt and honest. It's led to my dubious position as both the person most of my friends talk to about their problems, and being the person who actually has to ask the question of "Am I allowed to give advice here, or do you just want to vent?" Because my advice will tend to be exactly what I'm thinking as I hear what they tell me, and it's not always going to be what they want to hear. Though it is often what they need to hear - and I keep getting vindicated by time every time someone ignores it. Not that I particularly like being proven right, when it's usually because I said "If you don't do [x], this is going to go badly," and then they don't do [x].
