Whether or not you agree with the rules in regards to their limitation of certain jokes, they are the rules. When you signed up here you agreed to follow the rules of the forum, including the ones governing the appropriateness of a joke. If you truly want Michael Jackson/ped jokes, for whatever reason, there are plenty of sites out there with more content on the subject than the average person can stand. Halx and co. are just covering their asses because if they don't make the rules banning offensive jokes like that, they will get posted and it'll be Mods and Admin who have to deal with all the complaints.
Yes, you're right that if people can't take a joke they probably need to relax a little. That, however, doesn't mean that they will. In fact, as far as I've noticed, saying that to them only serves to spur them harder on.
