Not if the 5 bucks is on my fist with glue on the outside to stick to your face. One action and you get both.

I choose to believe you aren't aware how insensitive you could appear to come across as, when you reply in this matter.
If I tell you "it's possible to feel sad about getting a laugh point" what is your response.
If you choose to click the laugh button, that makes the perfect example to prove my point.

The preceding laugh at [MENTION=23751]Maxperson[/MENTION]'s post should not be construed as a virtual punch in the face or any other attempt to misuse this forum's feedback mechanisms.

I know you aren't being serious about equating "punch-stick 5 bucks to your face" and "give you 5 bucks", so I'll just leave the conversation at this: find a way to give someone 5 bucks, that's it - end of action, no special riders, no contextual delivery method - and it be belittling to that person.
It is possible to feel sad about anything, and even nothing at all. That doesn't mean that whatever you end up feeling sad about is automatically someone else making you feel that way.
If someone laughs at your post, you don't have any kind of sign whether it is a genuine laugh or an attempt to belittle you with just the "so and so laughed at your post" notification, so it is up to you the recipient to choose for yourself whether to take that as "person must have thought I was funny and is giving me props for it," or as "person is making me sad." Since this is the internet and none of it actually matters, I encourage everyone to choose the former.
I choose to click laugh on posts I find humorous, that's what it is for. That ends up making anyone sad, that is absolutely on them - there is a difference between someone being disrespectful, and someone feeling disrespected.

So I propose a scenario that defeats your statement and you declare me not serious and leave? Nice. Would my scenario be common in the real world? No. Is it possible to do? Very. Would it accomplish both hurting you and giving you something good? Absolutely. It proves your statement wrong.
Correct. It is not automatically someone else, but it IS someone else when it's caused by the laugh button.
That's just bupkis. There are certain posters here who are.......contentious with me when they post, so I'm contentious back. When they laugh at my posts, which have no humor in them at all most of the time, they are either try to belittle me (unsuccessfully) or something is wrong with their ability to know what humor is and they should seek medical help. It's very obvious when someone is using it incorrectly.

It proves nothing, unless you can elaborate upon how you can do the on-forum equivalent - click that laugh button, and without actually making a separate action such as a post explaining why you are laughing, make it feel like the forum equivalent of punching me in the face.
No, someone disagreeing with you is not that person's fault the disagreement has made you sad - even if the disagreement was about whether there was humor to what you said or not.
Unless you are admitting that when you laughed at some of my posts which I was sharing as genuine opinions rather than intended as jokes you were doing so specifically in the effort to belittle me, or are taking this opportunity to mention that you are personally afflicted with a medical condition that prevents you from knowing what humor is, I don't see how you have any ground upon which to declare my statements "bupkis."
