Just because the poster is new and on (what we suspect might be) a bit of a wind up? I mean what actual rules are broken and what harm done?
PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS THREAD FOR BEING A TAT. I am referencing a previous deleted thread, but my point is less about that thread and more about the prevailing culture on here these days concerning what is considered off limits.
The thread I have in mind wasn't offensive, just daft. A spoof. No person with a protected characteristic (or humble but doughty shop worker) was offended, harmed or triggered in the making of said thread.
Are spoofs and very obvious tongue in cheek wind ups no longer to be tolerated on MN?
This place has changed. 
It used to be fun. We could all take a joke once. What has happened?
YANBU: This place has changed. Way too serious now.
YABU: I am a sanctimonious Guardian reading arse who sees no humour in anything.
