Give me a break...an apology is wholly unnecessary. What you said may have been "inappropriate," but it was dark humor. Of course people would be offended.

I wholly agree. All it does is breed political correctness where there was none.
I think it's useful. It gave us a forum to discuss how Hacker News acts in regards to things like that, and that's a very important discussion to have.
If your dark humor doesn't offend people, you're doing it wrong. But you're right, this may show that HN overreacts.
Overreacts, yes. The outrage I saw was way over the line.
Yeah, really. It was a real bandwagon of righteous indignation.
