General

I have cut off friendships the way you did, Marshmellow. Almost never, but it has happened.

I think some things are so bad that you can't forgive them. I wouldn't punish anyone for saying such things, but I have very little time in this life, and I don't share it wantonly, and especially not with cruel people.

WHAT TERRIBLE PEOPLE! WHO DOES THIS KIND OF THING? OH MAN!

*goes in chat to troll like always and make sick jokes*

It depends on the context. Were they close friends?
My close friends and myself might make a joke like that to eachother (although we're funnier) if one of us had cancer.
It can make something bad seem smaller, to know that it can be laughed at with your friends.
It's fairly common to show affection amongst friends with put-downs and mean jokes, I tend not to feel particularly close to friends who don't do it at all, and who won't take it. You'd have to know the particular group to know if that was acceptable or not.
It also seems to be largely a guy thing (and girls who've grown up with lots of guy friends), and it varies by generation too.



If they were just strangers or acquaintances then the guy's a ***.
