I have been taken to task for inappropriate tagging of humor over the past week or two. Since there is no description of Humor in the About section of this topic group I thought it made sense to ask this group what the definition should include or alternately exclude.
How would like to see the Humor group described? Why has nobody described it yet?

I don't know, alot of military humor can be offensive to certain groups. I personally don't give a rats ass, but those who would seek and be offended by such jokes would do so with angst. This, we should at least post a disclaimer stating the raunchiness of said page and warn of offensive nature and also that anyone seeking to be offended open page and that RP is not responsible for tears that would follow or hurt feelings. Oh, haha, RP should also provide a printable Hurt Feelings Report on every humor post. Just for added satire.

I think so too! When you have to ask if something is funny or offensive; you might want to sit on the side of caution and not Share! Just my two cents! NancyMSG Louis Alexander

I think humor is in the eye of the beholder. What is funny to some will no doubt cause others apoplexy and hurt feelings. Personally I think things are just skippy as they are. Seems there is quite a bit of "taking to task" over trivial faux pas as of late.

Definition: Humor, noun - synonyms: comical aspect, comic side, funny side, comedy, funniness, hilarity, jocularity; absurdity, absurdness, ludicrousness, drollness, facetiousness; satire, irony. A mood or state of mind.
From "Psychology Today", 2019:
"Humor is both a form of entertainment and a means of coping with difficult or awkward situations and stressful events. Although it provokes laughter, humor can be serious business. From the witty to the absurd, humor can help with bonding, releasing tension..."

But, who's good taste? It's still very subjective IMHO, thanks for the input brother Christopher.

Like George Carlin once said, humor can be found in anything, if put in the right context.

I don't think you can define it. But I'd hope we'd get away from some of the humor you'd expect from 12 year old boys who are into being the "most grodie."
