Not to say that anything should be off limits on a discussion board, but in a thread about a funny video, I find repeated posts to the effect that one doesn't think it's funny to be a stick-in-the-mud quality indicative of having no sense of humor.
One "I don't think that's funny" should be quite sufficient. But I don't see why it's necessary to say it over and over. Again, there's no rules about what to say on a message board ... but then I am inspired to say that such a person is demonstrating a stick-in-the-mud quality that bespeaks a lack of humor.
We all know Alex has a droll wit. He's demonstrated it many times. We all know Lisa loves to laugh and is a hilarious ball to be around, but it's a niche bit of friendly teasing that she doesn't happen to like the nearly-universal touchstones of comedy that are Brooks and Piethon.
But I also truly believe that Alex can be a stick-in-the-mud too often around here, and I felt compelled to comment on it in this thread about humor. If you don't find the particular topic funny, I find it rather boarish to keep repeating that opinion.
