I mean I hate explaining jokes and all, and I'm certain you guys got it. the thing is that you cannot equate what he said to walking up to a stranger and saying that, he only said it because there is a large group of people who will read it, and if there was ever a real life scenario where a large group of people do anything comparable to this thread/this forum, then it would be funny in real life as well. thus, he can be the same way in real life as he is on the forum without being a total ass in real life. (although I think he very well might be  ) context is everything. and commun sense saves the day again  | ||

I think though that an option to squelch posters that post useless or otherwise offensive comments would be a great addition to the site. just an idea | ||

I'd agree that just about anything can be made into a joke (I've got a few exceptions, but we'll not get into those). However, I don't think that anything can be made into a joke at any time or any place, regardless of the circumstances. Fuddx posted a picture of his daughter because he's proud of her, and what does he see in reply to his posting of the picture? Some ugly fella with a couple of foreign objects forcibly inserted into his face saying he'd hit it? Haven't you people seen BAMBI for God's sake? If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all )= It's one thing if you can post a joke thats in good taste, or at the very least targets something impersonal.. but c'mon. | ||

(although I think he very well might be ) context is everything. I agree that the internet should be more like real life, but it's apparent that it's not. Even though baal didn't intend to piss anyone off, all I'm saying is that it's silly to not acknowledge that FuDDx's response was reasonable and, to some extent, expected. All people have to do in a situation concerning a joke gone wrong is to say some equivalent of "oops, my bad" and refraind from making it again to that person. But apparently there are people on this forum who think that their personal standards of what's appropriate or not are all that matter, and forget the people who may get offended or hurt by their statements. Can't just acknowledge that some people value certain things very highly and be respectful when those people point it out. But, nope, the reaction FuDDx got for telling a bunch of guys to not make sexual references about his underage daughter was something equivalent to "I can't believe you got offended by that, you have issues, you're dumb, illogical, irrational, etc." Again, the point is that just because some of us think anything can be joked about doesn't mean that all of us do. The idea of trying to consider other people and their values when you act or speak is not that abstract, it's respect and consideration. Sure baal and Eri wouldn't mind someone cracking a joke about a dead relative at their funeral, but I'm sure most people here can understand how other people would. It's not for the person who speaks the comment to decide, how is that not perfectly clear? At the end I suppose it just comes down to whether you're going to respect other people and consider their positions, or just go through life saying what you to who you want without regard to anything but your own personal opinions. If you think that the internet isn't all that different from real life, then why should someone not get offended over what they consider to be an offensive joke? You can't say the internet is like real life in one instance, and then argue that it should be treated different in the next. You and baal making inappropriate jokes is just how you behave in real life, and FuDDx and the others getting offended by such jokes are how they are in real life. It seems pretty clear to me that in a real life setting a father getting mad at people saying stuff about his underage daughter would be completely expected, and most people would apologize and respect that position. And if you want to analogize what happend to real life, I think you missed out on a few things. It'd be comparable to a group of guys, some who know each other better than others, showing pictures to each other and with SOME of the guys making lewd jokes about each other's women. Then another guy who doesn't usually hang out with these guys and doesn't joke about the same stuff, decides to show pictures of his family and daughter. The lewd guys make the "I'd hit it joke" and the father says "whoa whoa whoa, she's off bounds... no jokes about sex with my underage daughter or your balls are mine." Sure the father knows it's a joke, everyone does, but he feels his daughter is off limits and says so. At this point any decent person would respect that and say sorry, but following what happened would equate to the group of guys "oh my god, what a dumbass for getting offended by THAT? I mean, who gets offended by sexual comments about underage daughters?? What a ridiculous, irrational notion that suggests a lack of character!" Now you tell me who was being reasonable and who wasn't? No one is arguing that it wasn't a joke, and indeed context is everything. You're choosing to look at the context you want (running joke, baal's an ass, etc.) and ignoring the rest of it (FuDDx is the girl's father, takes offense to such jokes, etc.). What you're basically saying is that you value baal's opinion and viewpoint more than FuDDx's, when all I'm saying is that we should acknowledge everyone's viewpoint and try to be considerate and respectful to each other. One is "the only opinion that matters is mine" and the other is "everyone's opinion should be considered, particularly the targeted parties." One is self-centered and narrow-minded, the other takes other people and their feelings into consideration, I guess I was mistaken when I thought people would prefer the latter. Again, about the Zia-daughter comparison, it is again context. Sure baal can make jokes about Zia, even with Eri there, because they don't care. But he shouldn't make jokes about FuDDx's daughter because he cares. Is this that difficult to understand? | ||

his second post was "Anyway it was a joke, if you didnt like it just say so, and if you cant handle such a simple joke well you have some issues dude, have fun, its obvious it was a joke why getting mad about it, and please dont threat ppl over the internet is dumb. I dont know you, you seem a cool guy, just chill k?" he tells him it's a joke, tells him that he should respond in a different manner to a joke, says he has some issues if all jokes trigger him like that (this one you might find wrong), tells him he shouldn't get mad over a joke, that threatening people over the internet is dumb (and it REALLY IS. ), and finally that he doesn't know him but he seems like a cool guy who should relax a little bit. that post IS APOLOGETIC. it just lacks the word "sorry", but that's not a major fucking big deal. yes fuddx is allowed to get offended by that. (even though baal and I never would. ) but his response is just as out of line as baal's second post is. neither one of us wrote anything remotely similar to "oh my god, what a dumbass for getting offended by THAT? I mean, who gets offended by sexual comments about underage daughters?? What a ridiculous, irrational notion that suggests a lack of character!", you really shouldn't exaggerate our viewpoints like that because it's quite annoying. but like the girl (and I use that expression loosely) told us to stop debating this. so let us stop debating this, because we both know where we stand and that neither one of us will change our opinions. my point is just that while baal's initial post might have been offensive to fuddx and many others, and that fuddx is justified in being angry at him, there is _nothing_ wrong with how baal responded to that anger. I'd probably respond in a worse manner if someone from another country threatened to beat me up over the internet, because while real life and internet are very similar imo, that is one of the things which just isn't possible to do. :-) | ||
