Nooo, don't be coy. Oliver Cromwell led the campaign to put down the Irish people in 1649 that helped leave nearly half my countries population at the time dead.
Sorry if people use us to derail your conversations but to suggest Ollie, scamp that he was, beat us up a bit, plays with a painful part of our history.
But you needn't worry about it, the Irish are famed for our dark sense of humour, our capacity to smile in the face of despair. It's culturally ingrained, part of who we are, a generational gift passed down through the centuries. In our art, in our souls. Part of living under the boot of one histories more assholish empires I guess.
So when people, usually Americans, who are swirling down a toilet of dysfunction right now, wanna wag their fingers at the rest of the world and dictate to us where the lines are, what can and can't be mined for humour, as if they held the moral authority to supercede us, it honestly feels just a little bit condescending.
If you wanna come to Ireland an' tell us, tell women like my mother, who grew up under the opaque shroud of the Catholic church, that finding a way to push through and laugh about painful things, makes them terrible people, they'll push you back out to sea. Scotland, Wales and Australia too, if I were to hazard a guess.
That's not to say you can't set reasonable boundries for yourselves, like if you wanted to say what can and can't be joked about in here, that's entirely your prerogative. And for the topic at hand you definitely derserve to have a safe, less exhausting environment here. Not sure what you'll need to do to get it in such a large community though. Maybe a private, invite only subforum, where you can enforce a much stricter sense of peace and quiet? A way to hang out in a griefless cloister and recharge your batteries.
