Lambasting another person's code when they were simply trying to help by
sharing it didn't seem too relevant to the stated topic either, yet no one
intervened THEN. This tells me we tolerate blatant rudeness, but not humor
interjected to defuse tension caused by the rudeness. Guess it's all a matter
of what our values are. The humor did get a bit over the top. But not nearly
to the degree that good manners were disregarded.

See, folks, this is the part where I come across like I'm all
humor-deficient... I'm pretty sure that piercings and belly-button lint
aren't terribly relevant to the stated topic of the list.
It's all about the signal-to-noise ratio, kids. Please resist the urge
to push this one back up the hill again.
