I would,

I don't have a problem with "Sir Clownsalot." That sounds fairly good natured. But "Most Likely Not to Have Children"? What does it even mean?

My son just returned home from a 4-H trip where one of the chaperones had called one of the kids "fatty" to his face and made him cry (the kid is a fourth grader and, according to my son, is overweight).

Does that square with you? Is this kid whiney and insecure?

If you wish to draw a comparison between a malicious insult to a citation of a personality quirk made in good fun, be my guest.

Exactly. What the hell?

I agree with you. Whatever the second one means, it is definitely not nice. Like no woman could ever love you? Traumatic, coming from an authority figure at that age.

However, the biggest villains in this story are the parents who've chosen to make this a news story and now the whole world knows what a reject their kid is.

I agree with you. That latter sobriquet seems to be hitting below the belt. You're talking about someone's reproductive ability, or lack of it. It's dangerously close to sanctioning kids belittling each other with the epithet "gay".

Yeah, they alomost alwys have a class clown, but, what's with that other one?

I wanted to add myself to the growing list of people that agree with you. “Sir Clownsalot” is good-natured fun. A kid that’s offended at that is a whiner. “Most Likely Not to Have Children” is just cruel and heartless! And, as an aside, I agree, calling a child “fatty” is just cruel. What is wrong with some people?!

“Most Likely Not to Have Children”? What does it even mean?”

The only thing I can even come up with is ... when he matures he will remember what he was like as a kid and choose not to have any.

(I’m sure mine wasn’t the only mother who wished I’d have four just like me ...)
