Misunderstandings

In the past day or so, much hostility has arisen about my Sense Of Humor post and the comments that followed. It would appear a post that was intended to avoid hurt feelings and misunderstandings has become the root of them. Before you proceed reading, if you haven't already, read the post in question. If you have, read it again just for good measure.

Now, heated words have been exchanged, feelings have been hurt and it would appear that I, as well as a like minded friend, are responsible. However, due to the post that was made, I don't feel I should be held responsible, nor the like minded friend. If you are wondering why I feel that way, I shall proceed to explain.

The entire point of the post in question was for people who visit my site to understand my sense of humor and to engage in battles of wit with me, and others who visit my site, without people walking away offended or with hurt feelings. So, once the post was made, I expected the witty banter to follow and was looking forward to the challenges that awaited me. Although despite my best efforts to make that point very clear, it has been missed.

So, allow me to make this very clear, if you make a comment on my site, be fully prepared for the witty banter that will follow. If something is in very bad taste, I will do something about it. Although, if I find it witty, and witty doesn't always mean funny people, I will allow it. If you dish it, be prepared to take it. With that said, keep it clean people, witty is one thing, nasty is another. May the battles of wit commence.

    Witty banter.. just a sec.. let me sound that one out: who-it-tee ban, baaaaaannnn-tar... okay. I think i have it - witty banter. Oh ! OH!!!! I see - like jokes and stuff? Like sarcasm and a Monty Python-esque exchange of thoughts that could be construed as cruel if one wasn't prepared for the playful jabs that may ensue if they engage in the conversation or activity with people who already know the rules of the game.

    But isn't that the whole point of witty banter? To poke people until they either poke you back or crack? When they crack you then know who is ready for the game and who is not. You have to play the game to learn the rules of the game. That's the only way I weed people out in life - or wait.. let me put that another way, that's the only way I can distinguish who I can relax around and who I have to tip-toe around. I do both... but one is more fun.

    As an aside - did I miss something in your post in question and the comments that followed cuz I ain't seeing anything worth getting worked up about. If you wanna see that - check out Teh Blitz!
