I repeat; your comments aren't funny or appropriate in the slightest. There are upwards of 1000 people who may be butchered by this garbage and I find nothing funny about it nor will I "Lighten up".

Seems hardly laconic of you.

Humor is important in any foxhole; it is the best antidote against despair. And it has always been thus.

Without gallows humor, one has only the gallows.

I have to agree with McGruff. Lighten up. While his humor will not help the hostages, your anger is equally of no benefit to them. For me, your poison pen is provocative, hostile and distracting-far worse than a little humor. I am sure that we all wish the best for the hostages, McGruff included. Please, be nice.
