I don't think someone is a "bad human being" even if he or she thoughtlessly makes a bad joke. Moreover, lynch mob can hit someone wasn't bad at all. Someone just mishears or misunderstands, is mightily offended and the twitter storm starts. Like that guy who joked about dongles. It is not inconceivable that someone might make a half-tone joke that is completely harmless, and someone mishears and thinks it was racist or sexist. There is no way to defend against that. "I didn't say that (in that context)" is not going to work.
