# I think he made some coarse joke about dying shortly after someone had written of their friend who died of cancer.
But my memory hazes.

# The "dibs on the corpse" thing?
I'd be very surprised if that was enough to earn a real ban.

# Seems pretty extreme.
But it's what was put forward as the reason last time I saw it being discussed on here.

# mmmmmmm
Surely if that Vietnam picture of the guy getting shot in the head or the naked children running from the napalm, with their skin hangin off can be used as a meme, then anything does indeed go.
taking the piss out of a dead cancer victim seems mild in comparison.
And "dibs on the corpse" (im sorry)the way it was explained above, made me laugh.

# The thing with stuff like that though is its offense level is all very personal.
The majority of us can detach ourselves from horrific Vietnam war scenes and jokes about paedophilia because those issues haven't directly affected our lives.

If his image seemed like a personal attack mocking the fact this person recently died of cancer then it may have appeared far more offensive than any of that.

Jokes about rape are only funny if you haven't been raped. If you have they're horrible.

I dunno, I wasn't here at the time.

# In all fairness
You shouldn't post stuff for the whole internet to read if you can't take a few cunts being nasty about it.

But I wasn't there and so know nuffink except whats being said here.

# Yeah, I definitely disagree with the banning if that was the sole reason.
But if whoever did it was acting empathetically and impulsively I could sort of understand.
