Yes, and you said it better in your post.
What makes writing humor more difficult around here on this platform is the fact many walks of life all intersect at the same set of lights. What makes one human laugh in Canada could be incredibly confusing to someone living halfway around the world.
I just think it takes a bad person to joke about the death or well-being of another man, and I'm certainly not that person. If I were I would be proud about it I guess. Just assuming though.

I can handle dark humor. The context of my joke got twisted out of shape... and it's only because I said 40. That's just nuts. Shouldn't happen.
Agreed. I guess we have to get used to living in 2020. So much about failed humour.
Failed humor can be a bitch. I can accept your intentions were pure. Others who would be offended by that 4444 might see you in a different light though, regardless of your explanation.
I really wouldn't mind, and wouldn't even try to explain anything to anyone else. Just realized this post was dedicated to me, which is an honor, so I had to take part in this discussion.
I am not a famous author, nor do I have autovoters supporting my work, so there's literally nothing at all to lose for me. It's not like my life is at stake or something.
To summarize, I'm not trying to explain myself. Just holding an interesting conversation with a talented author I look up to on Steem.
It's good you spoke up. Owning it. People can see you're not as bad as the failed humor might make it look.
It's not about you or even that joke though. It just makes me uncomfortable to think something so innocent as a four can now, somehow, get ugly.
I'm actually having trouble explaining the point. I think I could have done a better job.
