Sel, I give you credit for more intelligence and sensibility.
Hnn17. This could be the root of your problems, if you cannot distinguish between arguing between a point of view put forward and slagging off the person who said it.
Honest Pirate – I’m am undecided whether that comments is born out of ignorance or arrogance or an over-active imagination. You yourself said that humour is subjective, I would have thought the rational and logical consequence of that was that before one posts a “humorous” comment that one exercises their sensibilities and judgement to ensure that it cannot be seen as anything but humorous... clearly not the case here.
Khagan, if your ignore the context then I would have to agree that it is all a storm in a tea cup. However, I clear framed my comments in a context – that being the bun fight of a preceding thread, where people were after blood and clearly, certain posters on both sides of the fence both sides were at fault. If you bother to read my posts, you would clearly see what the fuss is all about. When you have the same posters who a day or two before were being vindictive, I do not see it as a bit of good natured ribbing. I singled out this specific issue. We then have some post on the pretext of indicating what the previous thread was about but who then goes on to continue the argument. Immediately following that we have the comment that sparked this discussion – exactly what I had been talking about 2 and 4 posts previously.
Tell me, did you not bother to read that or did you just choose to ignore it so you could put up your post. “Don’t see what the fuss is about”. You would have to be incredibly obtuse not to.
Friendly ribbing for making a blue and comments about Keelbacks have no relevance to what we are talking about here. I will add, that the keelback comment was humourous the first couple of times I read it but it is used inappropriately as often as not and has cause more than one OP to question what is going on. Anyone post that comment. You don’t need to know squat. So where is the cleverness in that?
Looks like you have a few questions to answer...
