And don't act like you didn't know your joke was tasteless, or at least might be perceived that way. Why else would you have asked "too soon?"

As I said before, quoting a recently semi-famous comedian, if you don't like it, do as Paterno did and look the other way.

I used to be a child protective services caseworker. I've also worked at a Juvenile detention facility with kids who have been abused and neglected. I have volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA--Kappa Alpha Theta's philanthropy) and I currently work as a therapist for many abused and neglected kids. So, I guess you are right. I'm not doing too much for those kids that you like to make jokes about. I guess you can call me a prude. As far as getting a sense of humor---I can laugh at many things but, I have never found child abuse (particularly sexual abuse) to really be all that hilarious. I don't "rage against jokes on the interwebs." Instead, I actually do donate both time and money to kids who have been abused and neglected. So, maybe you should continue to contribute some billable hours because the more billable hours you rack up, the funnier child abuse becomes. Thanks for the lessons on how I should be a better person, Kevin.

You what I said and turned "What do you do" into "You do nothing"?

I'm certainly not going to apologize for something I never said.
