It's a losing battle, but: every joke makes someone uncomfortable.
The only way of making no one uncomfortable is to never joke, and what
a sad world would that be!  (Come to think about, the only way to
never make someone uncomfortable is to say nothing at all.)

A "kill file" is a filter that discards posts you don't want to read,
ever.  For whatever reasons.  See
