If I may suggest: George Carlin (an American stand-up comedian famous for
pushing the boundaries of humor) once responded to the question of what's
going to far by saying something to the effect of "it's OK to criticize your
own gang, but don't criticize the other guy's."

In your own gang, you can yuck it up about whoever and probably get away
with it, but if you're outside of that circle, someone may take offence.
(Replace 'gang' with 'race', 'gender', 'sexual orientation', 'choice of
car', 'taste in clothes' 'operating system [trying to get on-topic] or
whatever else you see fit.) Whether they SHOULD is another matter, but his
point was that you'll keep out of trouble that way.

Anytime you say "You X all do Y", look out! :)
