Right or wrong?
Sometimes we inadvertently offend others.
This is because the internet is a very difficult medium to get nuances across on....something that is said in text can offend the reader as there are no facial expressions or body language(which we take far more notice of than we realise).
I am sure that over the years I have offended some people.......we all have different views on what is and isn't offensive.
I have never ever set out to offend someone on purpose...and that is the difference. I have never been banned for expressing an opinion...maybe that is because I have tried to moderate how I have expressed the opinion.

The people who make nasty comments in the name of humour are doing it with a purpose....that purpose is to make money out of what is a tragic situation for those who have lost someone.
