Hey, F you.



Not sure why you decided to snip Kirra's ENTIRE post and apply her "That really sucks" comment to your statement that you didn't die.

For the same reason he *added in* his quote, in the first place. Kirra didn't make her post with a quote. Arathain stuck the part of his post in as a quote to make it look like she said something she didn't. This was an attempt at humor, and I believe it, that's how I read it.

Whether the humor attempted was in good taste, I leave to the reader and the mods. It clearly was not well received by Kirra.

I think a little more foresight in regards to who the joke was directed at would have been in order.

No, the edit was in my original post, but that's not really relevant anyway. I just took the last statement I made, followed by "that sucks".

As far as foresight in to where things were directed... perhaps, but I can't say I really say I know folks that well / pay attention to all the various personalities around here - for good or ill.

Anyway, I sent her a PM.

EDIT: Which seems to be stuck in my outbox for whatever reason. Posting my PM response to her PM here in case she doesn't get it:

Quote:
Of course that's what you meant.

Why would I seriously think you thought it sucked that I survived? Anyway, sorry - thought it was obvious I was just being dumb.

Arathain, PMs remain in your outbox until they are read by the recipient.

I've always contended that humor, as such, through this medium is difficult to pull off.

Easy to take things the wrong way because you can't see a face or hear an inflection in a voice.

That is true of Text Messages, Emails, Forums, Blogs, etc. There is a reason Dave Barry is considered by most readers to be a genius, written word is so tough.

FWIW, I saw the joke on the first read and thought it was funny. Maybe I just have a weird sense of humor.
