But if you feel strongly about it, alert the Admins.
I don't know what to tell you about NYC_SKP except that we're simply going to see it differently. I was reading that thread in real time when he sealed his PPR, and I've read multiple "explanations" of it post hoc, including the one to which you linked. My impression of his post is unchanged. NYC_SKP used a joke that has had a clear meaning for decades. There is simply no way that he could have posted it without realizing what he was posting, and he paid the price. He had a history, in fact, of holding people accountable for their posts, so it's fitting that he should be held to the same standard.
