I went through the posts again and now I understand your question. I agree with you.
I filter what I write. I look for the butt of the joke and try to keep it about someone or something that does not matter. I thought my joke was about a word that sounded french, an affliction where the output is cursing, and changing the output to something different. The butt of the joke was the French and the silly way they insult one another in French and how it translates into English. Bringing up Monty Python points the reader in that direction.
But I can see that someone might see it as a low punch to someone with a condition that is sad. From time to time I take a chance. Most times I get thank-yous, you made me laugh or that's a great line. But sometimes it goes wrong and hopefully I learn something.
I never mean to hurt anyone's feeling.
