Does my sense of humor bother you?

Norm · Post by **Norm** » Thu Feb 27, 2003 11:42 pm

I don't know if it's me, or some of you, but I get the impression my humor is either mistaken for insult, or is being taken too seriously (or something)

I don't know.

You tell me.

I can assure everyone, I am only trying to stir up laughfter, nothing more.

Is this a trick question?

You're the funniest thing I've seen in a long time

You're fine Norm, maybe I've missed something recently but I doubt it. Your humor has never crossed the line as far as I'm concerned.

Your body odor on the other hand...

Norm · Post by **Norm** » Thu Feb 27, 2003 11:47 pm

I know I've gone too far (and have been serious in war threads, and some religious threads) but I , for the most part am "always" kidding.

Other than tech threads.

I have no problem with you norm, you've never offended me with your humor.

but from what ive seen with other people (not on any message board but in person) that ever if a person is joking, it may be a topic that one doesnt take lightly. for example, if somebody started joking around about my coaching at work, or an ex girlfriend who i still take near and dear to my heart, even if i know this person is joking, it still not a topic to be joked about. you may be joking, but the somebody sure wont find it funny.

thats just waht ive seen...

good luck in finding your answer

btw - Humboldt - If I've ever picked on anyone, I've picked on you the most. All in fun, and I expect and appreciate the same back.
Thanks for your reply.

TeH Win, I hear you loud and clear. I think I understand what you're saying. I do clown around with the wrong people at the wrong time sometimes.

UOD, Joint Chiefs. I have never wondered or given too much thought as to how you take my humor. Always felt it was welcomed.

Davy, thanks. I know we don't see eye to eye on the issues and it makes me feel good to hear you're ok with my humor.

Without facial expressions or vocal inflections, it can be difficult to seperate fun from fierce.

You are an asset (a small ass), the 800 lb gorilla of SG.

I get bored easy. Then I try to have, or make, fun out of everything.

You could always using some sort of indication to let the person know you're joking, without having to explicitly say it.

Hey NORM, you have NEVER said anything to me that could be taken as an insult and I think you have a rather cool SOH.

You could almost pass for an Aussie....

Ashdaw. You a diplomat or what???

Norm, you have had no difficulties convincing me of your boundless sense of humour, complete with smilies and the occasional dash of DOS for good measure. I seek your threads/posts with anticipation and ferver at each visit.
I hope your stay here is long and the humour continues.
Take care Norm.

Oh.... Did I say that you have had no difficulties convincing me of your boundless sense of humour, complete with smilies and the occasional dash of DOS for good measure and that I seek your threads/posts with anticipation and ferver at each visit.

oh yeah, I have.

I don't get offended by your joking or seriousness or whatever. Sometimes it is hard to know when people are serious and joking... especially on the web with no body language to go from. I try not to take anything here personally. None of you know me really and I don't know you personally either. So, I have no reason to take it that way.

A lot of times you and I disagree on issues surrounding war and religion (maybe. I don't know your position), but we all need our own opinions. I always think that the world will pan out however it will and we shouldn't put that in front of forming friendships here or whatever.

At times I think you're a little narrowminded when it comes to listening to other people. You seem to ask what people think and then when they say it, you just say they're dumb and you are wasting your time. Now, I'm not going to go back and find references, this is just a feeling that I get from you. No biggie.

You are still the man when it comes to finding problems and I totally respect you for that. If you and I don't see eye to eye on stuff, that's ok. You are still the DOS MASTER !!!

There are my .03.

edit: And I DO like reading the humor... when I can see it. LOL If you're thinking about leaving, you better not !!! If you leave, DOS will die forever.

Sense of Humor? What up wit tat.
Norm, I'm jealous now. You pick on Humboldt more then me, when you know I rattle your chain every chance and opportunity I get!

I see nothing wrong with your humor and I do hope it's not coming down to having no humor at all on the boards. If that were to happen, it would be a very dull place in no time.

You don't offend me at all Norm, there have been a few threads where we haven't agreed, but we are both mature and agree to disagree. You insight is ALWAYS helpful and I always look forward to reading your posts. I know when you are joking.
