Punaweb and Poe's Law

There are such things as offensive jokes and bad jokes. So if one intends something as a joke isn't it the responsibility of the person reading the joke to accept it as such if they agree to Poe's law? No matter how offensive they find it?

But, what if the message comment posted relating to Puna or Hawaii was just a way to insert the off colored, offensive or disgusting joke which was the real point of the post?

If I ask how to tell the difference in Puna's guava, but tell a joke about niggers and spics, kikes and japs, fags and liberals that are too stupid to know when its ripe; if there are a whole bunch of [][][][][] afterwards, do we ignore the fact that the joke was the intended message and the poster could care less about varieties of guava?

We know what and why some post were made, and many know when the joke was not meant as a joke despite all the [][][][] afterwards.
