Hmmm... I'm going to weigh in on the whole humor and joke situation and give us all something to think about.
In Montana, a city board recently required that all new applicants divulge all internet sites they belong to. In addition to the list, the applicants were required to give their site names and passwords. Then the city could go in and analyze the sites their potential employees belong to. Imagine the havoc that could be caused by not having a moderator or administrator on a board. It could potentially cost you a job by virtually hanging out with someone who has a different sense of humor than yourself.
The positive side of this story is that due to the nationwide uproar this caused a small city in Montana, the city board backed off this ruling. But it could happen anywhere and could be something that could happen more in the future.
I'm in health care and my husband is in law enforcement. Our sense of humors are probably very jaded to most of the world's population, so something that would make me laugh would horrify my neighbors. So I guess you need to 'know' your audience before posting jokes. And once it's posted, it is out there for everyone and anyone to peruse.
Rules are rules are rules are rules. We all need guidelines in our lives, even when we don't like them. And rules, like life, are fluid. They change to match the needs. Let's keep the needs simple on this board to keep the rules simple.
This is an outstanding board that I would proudly list on a job application- and truth be told, there aren't that many out there on the internet that are worth participating in. We are a great group of people who have foibles and faults, but are still by far the best.
