Heck if you want the joke so much, why don't you explain to the person why this is a light-hearted joke INSTEAD of "Ohh your just trying to get offended". Why not show that it isn't mocking but rather telling a joke inspired by what they said instead of going "Well I could have said your mothers so fat"
We did, multiple times. The trying to get offended thing was often bundled with it because that's the reconciliation between "I am offended you are mocking me" and "This is lighthearted fun we're not mocking anyone."
HECK "I" would have moved the heck on. Yet APPERANTLY just pointing it out that you guys would immediately dog pile on anyone that was offended (accurately mind you) got me sucked in... because you guys are very predictable... and I would have even dropped it now... but it is kind of personal now for an unrelated reason and if I have to pay for a single post... I might as well take it all the way...
It's called talking. You're positing an unpopular argument, so multiple people disagree with you. You're being oversensitive and defensive, so you're perceiving this disagreement as a coordinated assault on your person.
This, in turn, invites actual attacks on your person because you're legitimately causing problems for yourself and impugning the motives and actions of other for no good reason.
It's a vicious cycle and the way out is to not assume the worst of others.
All of which applies at least as well to you as to MSH.
Is he offended? Did he express insult, disgust, malaise, hatred, sorrow, depression, disillusionment, horror, or any negative emotion or feeling towards this?
No, he found it hilarious. I should say "Your welcome". If he is offended, and says so. I will apologize.
To the notion that he should apologize and rectify the situation at once? I'd say he felt mildly insulted, perhaps disillusioned with your emotional maturity.
More to the point, why did your prior stuff about always being easier to blame others and why so important only apply if he's feeling negative emotions?
You should say you're welcome. You gave him a silly thread title. MSH likes silly thread titles. Your presence has made the world better.
That's the problem. You can't just skip the part where we actually discuss whether something should happen because you want to skip to the part where it happens. The discussion is the functioning part of that.
Which sucks because it is the dumbest part which ALWAYS happens.
"You punched me!"
"Well maybe if you didn't aggravate me you wouldn't have gotten punched"
If it keeps happening, get better at addressing it.
For instance, the above is a perfect match to what you're doing now. If MSH hadn't aggravated you, you wouldn't be insisting he apologize and change things, since it's clearly his fault and not yours.
Does this count?
It... it is horrifying.
FLAT AS A BOARD 0/10 SHIT TASTE
That's it, I just don't care.
Then this discussion has accomplished nothing and will likely be repeated at a later date. If you want to make things better, you have to actually see them through. It's not a chore for no reason, it's the method by which things get better.
