To be clear, the arbitrator's decision is not based on whether or not the reporter's jokes were funny, but whether they were, to any significant extent, inflammatory (together with the fact that they were made in the performance in his side gig or hobby as a stand-up comedian.)
- ttyprintk 3y agoThis is important: you can’t troll and then hide behind comedy. The arbitrator applied a reasonable person standard to the audince and found an attempt at comedy. Not just some asshole trolling and then saying “I was only kidding, it’s your fault you couldn’t tell because you unreasonable people can’t recognize a joke”.
