I think calling someone a S.O.B. as in the fake ID for Matteo crosses the line in my mind.
 
I would not say that to anyone that I might be angry with, without the courage to show my face when I write or say it.
 
But to do it hiding ?
 
Cowardly, that is what I think.

Please explain to me what humor does not poke fun at human frailties or
idiosyncrasies. That does not make them a hate monger.

My two cents from the lurking side.
Alan
