Too serious

Secret hideaway in the pennines

Why is it that some people take some posts so seriously.

A few of my threads as a rule are tongue in cheek, meant to be taken with the pinch of salt they deserve and raise a chuckle every now and then, so lighten up all you serious people, this place is supposed to be about fun.

I could never take any part of this site seriously!

Most of my answers are trash. Every now and then I like to be deadly serious so everyone knows I am a well rounded considered individual.

I like your answers, they’re whimsical and playful, with a glint in the eye.

I think sometimes when someone reads a sentence it can be interpreted differently depending on the mood they are in, if someone has had a bad day they won’t see the humour and just look for things to pick at? And in these forums I find things can spiral fastttt

It’s the biggest issue with doing humour over text I find

You can’t read intonation via text and most infer their own tone into what they’re reading,

If your humour is quite dry, then many won’t pick up on it. It’s a cross to bear OP and why emojis are a thing

Even when I try to be serious I still have to slip an un-serious comment in there

I thought this place was about fawning over the clique, bashing the unpopular and moaning about rejection?

At least thats what I use it for!

Wait... Are we meant to take this one serious?

I take a fair few things "serious" but I like discussion and I am an over thinker, I look in to things too much, usually unintentionally.

Fair point OP, and you're probably including my earlier response to one of your other threads, but unless people have become very familiar with the threads you post, its not always clear if you're serious or not.

I kinda suspected it was tongue in cheek, but someone new to the forum might not realise that.

That was all. Wasn't a lack of sense of humour.

I think the crux of it is that often it can be difficult to tell with the written - or printed word.

Most only show their displeasure to gain their remora’s appreciation. It’s as clear as the day is long.
