For everyone harping on me about the jokes, they are clearly jokes. I wouldn't make it though the day if I couldn't make jokes about even the darker parts of life. Are you guys equally offended when Daniel Tosh or Louis CK joke about 9/11? Linux, if I made a rape joke would you tell me to go say it to a victim of rape?
Like I said, obviously it's horrible when innocent people die. But why do we have to put the 9/11 victims on a pedestal? The example I was trying to make is that innocent people are killed all the time. It's sad but I'm not going to cry about it 14 years later.
Tuth put it best in the Look up, Bitch thread posted earlier.

I don't think the 9/11 post is in good taste. I get the concept you are going after, but 9/11 hit a lot of us hard and some of us have ties in the wall street community with direct impact from that photo. I just think this one should be off limits.
You are the moderator. Your call.

If an image that was once on the cover of Time Magazine has a crippling emotional effect on you, perhaps this isn't the right forum for you. Your use of feminist shaming language in the past seems to suggest that it isn't.
Furthermore, you should raise concerns like this over PM. Don't derail threads to create public drama.
