I have thought about this for a day, and I want to express that I am extremely disappointed by the lack of civility demonstrated by some in response to this change/joke. I have not read every post in this thread because the venom spewed forth by some (representing various sides) was not worth spending the time to read.
There is certainly nothing wrong with expressing an opinion, but please keep in mind that when it is expressed in a vulgar, demeaning, vile, rude, hurtful, or condescending way it says more about the person stating the opinion than it does about the issue being discussed. When posting in the future I kindly invite all members of this forum to please think twice about civility (regardless of the "hot topic" being discussed) and post once.
