Seeing that my judge has cast a vote in my favour as well as not giving me a chance to get involved in the new challenge, I can only wish the Andhrimnir/Scroat coalition all the best - it's hard enough to choose one word from the OED, but when two of you have to hold a committee meeting to get there . . . well.</p> <p>Mr beQ, have you got a <strong><em>suggestion</em></strong> for them?

I thought I'd lost the Neat-O thread, but here's the little bugger.</p> <p>Right - this has been the worst-run Neat-O in the competition's glorious history, and I am suitably ashamed.

Given that we are all here to read and write comedy you can expect some of it to be a bit close to the mark. One of the first reactions to a disaster or something frightening is to make light of it (it’s a natural defence mechanism to make it less frightening).</p> <p>I think you can make light of just about anything, though you do have to be a bit careful HOW you write it sometimes. I suspect a lot of the cases on this site which have caused mass offence are more down to amateurs writing (of which I am one) and not quite getting their point across in the manner intended, rather than anything malicious. This is after all a training ground for amateurs and professionals to write comedy and readers should perhaps give writers a little more leeway before jumping on them.</p> <p>Readers are quite welcome to add constructive criticism, so it’s far more helpful (particularly from one of the pros) to say ‘I get the point of that but how about writing it this way..’ rather than hurling abuse (which some are little too quick to do).</p> <p>I just rely on my internal barometer, if I think something’s a bit iffy I might leave it half an hour and come back for a second look but really I’m not too worried about offending the odd person (who usually proves to be oversensitive). You can’t please all of the people all of the time. Carry on writing and try not to let the moaning get to you.</p> <p>PS I know a couple of African doctors who tell fantastically racist jokes about other African countries so I don't think we should beat ourselves up too much. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3043#post-8788 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:46:44 +0000 andhrimnir 8788@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Scouser arrested for taking a fence. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3043#post-8785 Thu, 22 Apr 2010 08:25:45 +0000 saltire 8785@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>'Everyone should be offended once a day...and twice on Sundays.'</p> <p>John Mortimer </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3043#post-8761 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:42:47 +0000 rikkor 8761@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I find that the only people offended by my comic writing are Jews and black people. So, a majority are completely fine with it. You can't pander to every niche group when creating art. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3043#post-8756 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 22:24:50 +0000 shitsu_tonka 8756@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Either everything is funny or nothing is. </p> <p>Can't remember who said that first but, by jingo by crikey, they were right.</p> <p>The worst things can be funny if the joke is good. I was emailed a 9/11 joke before the towers had fallen. Offensive? Yes. But it made me laugh and feel a bit less dazed on a uniquely frightening day. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=3043#post-8744 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 21:42:23 +0000 Stan Laurel 8744@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I wouldn't worry too much.

But I think no matter what you write, it will offend someone. I wonder how others cope with this, since I like to think of myself as an understanding and non-judgmental human-being... </p>
