Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"[...] I can defend the joke, saying (honestly) that it was never my intent to lessen THEM in status, but by using their situation to lessen someone else, I may have done harm. THAT IS ON ME.

"The lesson then, is not 'don't tell jokes.' The lesson is 'be accountable for the jokes you tell.' We're all going to offend other people at some point. We must be prepared to listen to them, to apologize for the harm we do, and to learn to be better in the future."

[To my friends fasting today ahead of Purim, may you have an easy fast -- and a fun tomorrow!]
