"Once again, I can't believe that of all people who have been spamming this forum for the past years, it has come down to me who some blame for all of it."
I've probably made every point I could possibly make in this thread, but allow me to take this opportunity to say again that I am passing judgment on a month's worth of posts. I am definitely not going to sift through the last several months or years of threads to determine who's the most menacing forum user of all. My reign of terror is only applicable to all that has occurred with me around.
As for the jokes, maybe this will resonate with you to some degree: The tone of something a person says has a transparency when delivered in person that doesn't carry over quite the same way on the internet. If I said "It looks like Skull probably has a small dink," I may have meant that as a joke, but it could very easily be interpreted as an insult. If I spruce it up with a
or 
or even a 
- it does a better job of indicating any underlying humor. It may still be a joke at the expense of another person, sure, but the inherent negativity is subdued.
Basically: The things you say may be in good humor, but depending on how you say them here, they may be interpreted as something not very humorous at all. I'm not here to say YOU CAN'T BE FUNNY or even YOU CAN'T JOKE ABOUT OTHER USERS - hell, I do it now and then - all I ask is that you consider how you may be interpreted.
