Agreed, no harm may have been intended, but as soon as harm was done,
whether intentional or not, it is still harm, and as such this harms
our whole community.  I would usually be happy to just politely ignore
such jokes.  But on Ubuntu-related lists, we have a duty to make *all*
people feel welcome.
