It's the CONTEXT that makes his joke bad, since it wasn't meant as a
joke. You can write the same in another CONTEXT and it will be a joke
for some people.
When I noticed that I hurt somebody who misunderstand my joke I directly
uncalled tried to explain and apologized.
I anyway received mail from the admin.
What should I do with off-list mail in the future? Should I forward all
those "jokes" to the list? Admin?
