You could actually be a victim of actual discrimination

Mr. Charlie just strikes me as a huge blowhard.

That wasn't a compliment.

I'm a harmless joker.

I'm the same way, though I deleted the sentence 'it's up to the reader to decide if I'm serious' because on the internet, where you have to make due without the many nuances of speech and expression to convey your meaning, you have to make it explicitly clear if you are kidding or not. If someone reading your post can't figure out whether you are serious it's your (the writer's) fault.

On that note...

My only criteria for this is how funny each of them are, and he is the most hilarious by far.
Freebase Dali is second.

The rest of the mods are comparatively lacking in hilarity and need to step their game up in that department.
Vanillia in particular, who while has certainly made some hilarious posts, has also made a fair number of too-serious/droll comments that push her to last place.

This was entirely a joke that I conveyed poorly. I don't like detailing what I don't like about people, so I came up with something silly for this thread.
Vanilla is an awesome mod. <-- Not a joke, but a serious, true statement.

The flip side of "it's the writers fault" is you as the reader have to know there is "not enough information" to base your assumptions on, in short some things you have to let go some things as not being fully understood if it was a joke or not. I have to let go things that I don't know if they were a friendly joke or a mean joke, or just a non-humorous flail. There is an awful lot of things that are said in jest here that I don't get. And there is other things I just don't find funny at all. But then again this isn't JokeBanter... it a music forum.

If someone is posting things that is upsetting to you, I think you have to take a step back and think things through. While I understand someone being sarcastic or derisive would be upsetting of course, (and in a case of trolling, they are begging you to lash out) but you don't really have to blow up over it. That is not saying you shouldn't feel upset, just that you can make a choice not to lash out (as most trollish personalities expect you to do) and find other ways of dealing with the problem. But all of that is one of those things that is easily said than done.

I don't quite understand trolling. Is it someone faking a personality specifically to upset people? Or is it just anyone who's upsetting?
