This is why most of us have tried to be very tolerant with Yorick...
The fact is, though (changing topic a little), that since Sept 11 EVERYONE has become oversensitive and easily irritated by stuff that rarely bothered us prior to that date. If you consider the sort of posts people got castigated/banned/suspended for before Sept 11, they were in no way like the stuff people are getting castigated/suspended/banned for since then.
I think it is time we took a more tolerant attitude to EVERYONE, not just Yorick, and permitted the free expression of opinion once again, as we used to. There is nothing wrong with sarcasm - only with personal, hate-filled insult. Sarcasm is a normal tool of debate.
