Cunningham Muffins Commercial

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.

Oh, I'll certainly cop to being a stick in the mud too often. But that tends to be because I like to discuss the whys and wherefores of differing opinions when most people are just looking for "me too!" posts. I try to restrain it but I certainly fail a lot.

Though the fact that I wasn't rolling at the charming little racist character you apparently enjoy playing maybe isn't the best supporting evidence. When you're striving to amuse through offense you can't be all that shocked when someone is just offended. Especially if what you said wasn't funny.

But I do so apologize for participation in the conversation that followed me sharing my opinion. From here on out, I'll just say "me too!"
