   Once upon a time, there was a thing called a “joke”...

Ugh.




What are you talking about, Kevin? Nobody here was joking. Did you even read Rob’s entire post, or any of the other posts in this thread for that matter, before you replied, or did you just jump into the conversation halfway and read only mine which contained just the first line of Rob’s post?

Here is what I did, in the order that I did it.

1. Read post fully.

2. Read all replies.

3. Talked to Rob, asking him what it was about. I thought it was a joke, but felt it better to ask Rob first.

4. Read replies again (another had been made, yours)

5. Posted a short comment, which was intended to accomplish the following things:

a) Inform everyone that Rob made a joke.

b) Point out that people need to lighten up, and not take themselves too seriously.



   And what was the reason for snipping out Todd’s response from my post when you quoted it? Are you trying to single me out for some reason with your post? Sure, if a reader was to look only at your post, it might appear to them the Rob was making a joke, and that I didn’t get it. But, that would be out of context from the thread as a whole. Is there some reason you snipped up my post to make it look this way?

Yes. There was a reason. Todd’s post was informative in nature. Yours seemed condescending and snippy. And thats right, the reader’s right response would be to think “Rob made a joke, but Mike didn’t get it”. That is not out of context with the thread.

At this point, if you are unsure as to whether Rob was infact joking, I refer you to this post: http://news.lugnet.com/starwars/?n=17161

In conclusion: lighten up.

(...) Kevin: You know what? That’s all well and good if you actually did all that stuff you said you did. My problem, and where your logic and reasoning breaks down, is that in your “short comment,” you failed to do either (a.) or (b.). Here’s what (...)
