just wow...what a thing to say on a CA earthquake thread!

What a disgusting thing to say. Some of us have family there.

Well see if the moderators put up with AHs like you here.

I am well aware of the adage that if you have to explain a joke, it wasn't very funny in the first place...

My comment was not saying that we would be better off. My comment was an (apparently weak) attempt at a joke, since it was a prediction that there would be such posts further down the thread. It is a fairly common joke formulation, the humor being in that we can expect people to say things so outrageous.

Obviously, not a very successful joke. I am sorry I was offensive.

You know, when you have a number of freepers sitting there wondering for 20 seconds if the building above them is going to come down, they might not have the same sense of humor.

None of that was infer-able from your post. However, apology accepted...

BTW I am honestly worried because I have immediate family in Chino. Hopefully my husband has been able to contact them.

Some folks just don’t get ‘subtlety’...

I knew exactly what your intention was, but, at the same time, I can see how others might have misunderstood what you were trying to do.

I'm glad to see that all the ruffled feathers have been smoothed.
