Jokes are also against the HN guidelines.

  Methinks the commenters in this thread are exactly the PC problem those who support free speech are fighting against.

  Of course jokes are not against the HN guidelines.

    They aren't, but I've seen you call out users in the past basically for making a joke that you either didn't catch or that you didn't think was funny enough to justify the impropriety that went along with it. I wouldn't say it's a big problem or anything, but it does happen.

      I'm not following the "but" in your first sentence. As for jokes on HN, there isn't much to add to what scott_s said a long time ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7609289.
