Friends, just like what ALWAYS happens to me I am "somehow" misunderstood.
I have ZERO intention of antagonizing people or getting them riled as it only "appears" like I intentionally do this.
I am quite sure I am one of the most kind and patient people any of you guys will ever meet.

That being said I am removing myself from further participation in this thread. The reason is because I cannot change who I am (I have tried for years)...If you do not like my joking, then it is clear you do not like me because my joking is a major part of who I am.
over and out
The bad news is you're leaving the thread. The good news is that you won't ever stop joking around.

    @Atchafalaya, @Robert Cromwell, @Enta, @Luke95, @NoFumus and whoever else:

    I consider all you guys my friends. As such you will remain my friends but I feel I have to say a few things to all of you....

    First, joking is a part of my personality and who I am.... So, when you condemn my joking, then you are also condemning and insulting part of who I am. Do you understand? I can no more stop joking than you all can change your genetic makeup.

    Second, I love to make people laugh and I love it when they make me laugh. This entire forum would be quite boring if the members here did not joke with each other.

    third, I have a heart of gold and I know this fact and don't need anyone to tell me that (even though they often do). That being the case, then logic alone would indicate that I am not out to hurt the feelings of anyone. Whenever anyone gets their feelings hurt, or they get angry, then this certainly was not something I set out to do.... In other words, I sometimes say "risky" things in order to capitalize on a joke but certainly do not intend any hurt or angry feelings. I had mentioned about being the forum antagonize person and perhaps I should have chosen different words because I don't intentionally try to antagonize anybody.

    While it may appear to some of you that I try to joke with my friends and at the expense of their feelings, nothing could be farther from the truth.

    AXIOM_1 and everyone who participates in this thread, you all need to make sure you cut each other some slack. So far I think we have all been doing a good job of that. But keep in mind, all of us posting in this thread are at our hearts somewhat socially inept. That's why we're here. We've all spent a lifetime with people not "getting us". Is it hard to understand that we might also misunderstand each other sometimes? :)

    AXIOM_1, I'll say it again and stronger, I love your gentle humor and kindness. :wub: Don't ever change that part of you! :w00t:

    Thank you sweet Lady :) That was a very wise post and you sort of took the words out of my mouth.... Lots of folks (normals) just do not get it when I say something like "I am misunderstood", or "I was just joking" ........ I have had to endure that my entire life and the part that really sucks about it is that I never set out to hurt anyone or make anyone angry, but yet I always do?

    I know I joke more than most people and I can't change that fact even though I have tried for many years. I have come to the conclusion that it's just part of my personality. I can handle it if someone says I am being stupid, silly or a smart {moderated} , or some other name they want to call me because of some joke I may have said.... All of that is fine and I know I have went too far when that occurs....but what I can't handle is when someone insults my joking itself, because then they are insulting me as that is part of me.

    AXIOM, just as joking around is part of who you are, some people that post here and in the world in general may be a little broken when it comes to having a "sense of humor". They probably can't change that part of them either. :unsure:

    .... and it's not like a doctor can transplant a sense of humor into them.

    yes, I know this and that's why I usually cool off rather quickly after I get my feathers ruffled. They can no more understand joking than I can understand not joking..... Lots of folks just don't have a sense of humor and I certainly don't hold that against them.

    I am glad that you are wise enough to understand what the deal is :)

    Axiom.
    Dude. I know I'm a bad offender on the bashing your jokes.

    2 things one my bashing is joking back.

    2 if it seems serious write it off like a welfare child. I am a mentally ill young adult who lashes out when he is hurting. It just so happens y'all tell me to knock it off and actually ask what's wrong.

    The biggest truth in life is that it is not fair.

    Oh yeah. At one point in my life when everything kept going wrong, I kept muttering that if life balanced out, then I had ten good years coming. And fairly soon after that I had ten very good years - almost exactly ten, and it's been downhill ever since.

    That thought process has been with humans for eons ---- consider this axiom though (I forgot the name of it) ----- Would you rather be a believer and be wrong at the end of your life or would you rather be agnostic/atheist and be wrong at the end of your life?

    Pascal's wager. The big problem is that, if you truly don't believe, there is no way to make yourself believe. And if there is a great entity in the sky, he or she will know that you didn't really mean it, so there isn't any point to it.
