[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 4775194, member: 59506"] Fair enough. And I apologize for the way I handled that. It was uncalled for. At the same time, overly serious comments about [I]my[/I] sense of humor (or my self-admitted lack thereof :blush:) is what started this. I'll extend you that basic courtesy, as I should have from the start. Please, extend me the same courtesy. I would have pm'd you this, but you don't have private messaging turned on. If one doesn't get a joke, or doesn't find it funny, the best thing to do is the internet version of not laughing, which is just not posting or replying to it. Taking something seriously on a thread tagged "Humor" (or even "sort of" Humor;)) kind of defeats the purpose of the thread. A "No Response" to a joke of mine (or anyone else) is more than okay. Especially as I'm quite used to the occasional blank stares from my wife at some of my attempts to make a joke.:o However, if a joke is obviously offending, then by all means report it. But I'm fairly sure nothing in my first post on this thread would be deemed by anyone as offensive (quite possibly [I]"not funny"[/I], but not offensive). To everyone else (especially [U][B]Aberzanzorax[/B][/U]), I apologize for side tracking the thread. Please, carry on with your requisite ENWorld semi-serious silliness (at least that's one of the reasons [I]I'm[/I] here:p).:D [/QUOTE]
