"I won't make fun of you...."

The way I would handle it is I'd ask for a meeting with the person who made the comment, and I would point out to them how hurtful the remark was - "I don't know if you realised, but what you said was very hurtful" type of approach. If it re-occurs, then he hasn't got the 'I was only joking' excuse.

I think I had an online corporate training program on this issue that suggested that very response. While also making it clear that you can always go to HR if you'd like to.

Set his car on fire?

Empty, or with him in it?

Is that an incitement to violence?

[Doctor Phibes]

No, it was a trap. If he said 'with him in it', I was going to report Aqua to the FBI.

I do believe I phrased my response in the form of a question, condoning neither implicitly nor explicitly an incitement to violence, destruction of property, or any other legal infraction generally.

[Doctor Phibes]

I shall of course advise the FBI accordingly.

I'm in.

I prefer the direct approach.

[Doctor Phibes]

The trap closes.

On a related note, I'm sure y'all be glad to know all my hair came back. I think it was stress. A HELOC to pay off some usurious student loan rates and some cortisone shots skillfully placed did the trick.
