And whether or not your statement was really a joke, I thought my response to it was reasonably intelligent, insightful and stimulating. Dianthus liked it anyway. All in all, I'm glad I posted it.


I think the content of your response was reasonable, it just felt kinda odd that I had multiple people using what I intended to be a joke as a sudden wager against my personality.

I wasn't sure whether Who Am I was joking or not but I replied twice in a joke fashion because I thought it was supposed to be a silly statement either way. Dianthus seemed to have found it funny, hence why I was especially surprised that she took one of my replies so seriously..

Again, I'm really struggling to see how that was a joke - it just seems like a bizarre statement to me - so perhaps you'd care to explain it? Were you trying to laugh with, or at us?


I wasn't laughing at anyone, I don't know if I would say with you but that is closer than at. It was more just my own impulsive, independent humour, where I just feel like saying it for the lolz. I guess the first reply I posted 'I lost your mum' is a better example of that.

I know, you guys work so hard on your comic material, and then I give all the credit to some imaginary friend in the sky.

For my part, I was wishing to question your motives rather than attack your personality.

I'll take that into account while I consider my verdict. :jester:

I still don't understand the joke, but maybe that's the nature of "independent" humour.

I once had a small problem with a surgeon who kept putting samples of human stomach on my desk, so I put a note asking him not to. Fearing that he might think I was being indignant and so take offense, I added a cute little drawing of a stomach, which I hoped would lighten the situation. I suspect the same dynamic has been happening here. Luckily the outcome hasn't been anything like so bad here. In the case of the stomach, my colleague later informed me that the surgeon had gone postal, and added that "the drawing screamed as he tore it from the wall." Ten bonus points for anybody who can tell me whether it was me or the surgeon who was in the wrong.

It wasn't really a strong feeling on my part, just considering an argument started about my posts, it was something I considered as likely. Good to know, though.

Haha well that does seem relatable. Seems like that over-reaction from the surgeon was leagues above anything that happened here though. XD

I can see how my humour can be taken the wrong way. I originally replied that way because I didn't know how to interpret the post I was quoting, so I chose to keep it light-hearted. Maybe Who Am I does think that I just lost an argument and created this thread.. who knows. It didn't bother me enough to take it seriously.

That said I'm not ignoring that my posts may be viewed as angry.. I just don't really know what to do about that. I don't really feel like wrapping my words in pudding only to be seen as kind. I guess I can't really perceive this anger that people refer to, outside of a few threads (such as this 1).

definitely. i agree that we should do our best not to overly offend others, but at what point does it become ridiculous?

It seems to me that when people get offended at utterly ridiculous things (which i can remember is often) my brain suppresses it to keep me from going bonkers

I thought Who Am I was joking and then I thought Norny was joking back. Though I don't get the humor.


We were both joking.
I know that Norny is because my mum's been here all along. She was never lost.
