Are you keeping a mental list of them? I would suggest you take that Thought
Leadership, and turn it into actual leadership with a page detailing the
Things That Are Too Serious To Joke About, so that newcomers don’t make the

I too have learned this recently and would like to contribute to the list.
Things that are too serious to joke about:
- Nazis and/or nazism
- anything else that might upset Germans
- sorting mech bays
- colour change, and failing to internalise it and move on
- posting items for sale in the wrong group
- tatoos/bra straps

harp on other people for such things.
It sure reads like you’re mocking him to me.

ps Actually, it seems like Allister might have been mocking me a bit too.
