Hehehe—I am repeatedly amazed by the degree to which your community justifies enforcing odd norms of communication, without addressing the substance of the argument. Consider if, in the extreme, I was downvoted or dismissed for not following MLA formatting, without mention of the content? I see “satire is not the kind of impersonal, vague dialogue we permit” as of a feather; what compassion is there for the betrayal and ruin of so many, and the grim humor we make, to claw our spirit back?
The validity of satire and gallows-humor is secure, tested in dictatorships and academic halls; I do not pretend that your community’s assessment of appropriateness changes it. If I am removed for this, you are well within your rights—and, you brand yourself for excluding what is clearly meant to vent feelings and give release to tension, to reverberate with those in similar moods. There is good reason beneath, too! Reasons presence is not emotion’s absence. Look carefully how well you appeal to the world, when they are only allowed to express themselves to you in the format suiting your approval.
