You aren't going to change what people around here like. And complaining about downvotes usually just attracts more.

If you think that your brand of funny is worth braving people's disapproval, do it knowing what the reaction is going to be. If you don't like people disapproving, then go elsewhere, or engage here in a way that people prefer.

I made the joke for Tom. It has special significance for him.

Dave and I worked together at Powerset many years ago (pre-GitHub) and wrote a bunch of Erlang together. We have a lot of inside jokes from those days. LEAVE HIM ALOOOOOOOOOOOONE!

That's fine then. Make the joke for Tom. Ignore the inevitable downvotes. Nobody else has to understand or like it.
