> Why is it unacceptable to you for someone to explain why they do not find something funny?

I mean, it's not "unacceptable", free speech and all. It's just silly to jump in and "well actually" a joke, especially when the explanation is kind of why the joke was funny.

Different people see humour in different ways or even not at all.

Do I really need to spell it out?

No, but maybe I do …

Don’t yuck someone’s yum.

Let people enjoy things.

I believe that it is in spirit of this website that you are encouraged to explain poorness of a joke, if you find it poor. After all, if it inspires curiosity what's the issue?
