> That was considered a violation of their anti-bullying stance. Knowing her, it wasn't. It was sarcasm.

That line is grey and I'd argue that your friend's comment, while obviously hyperbole, does not respect human life.

There was an article posted about cyclists that points out the danger ous dehumanizing others; that comedy / hyperbole help group think achieve it.

I think it's pretty reasonable to ban jokes about killing people. Maybe it was an overreaction here, but I certainly try to avoid even jokingly saying things that could be interpreted as a death threat if taken seriously, especially on the internet where it's easy for tone and context to get lost.
