Please keep it like that.

I'm sure that Superyob has other subjects in mind for any future treads.

Agreed, satire when done well can be amusing. We are all potential victims as portrayed in older threads some may not have seen.

Laughter equals winning
(a) For every humorous situation, there is a winner
(b) For every humorous situation, there is a loser

If you have ever laughed at anything that involved the above relationship (99.99% of humour revolves around this) then you have played the game yourself...

I'll give you a tip bud...literacy is being able to read and write....

And imho there's a huge difference laughing with someone in a satire nature, then making them the laughing matter.....or laughing AT them.

wow, this escalated quickly.....

I thought this was a humorous thread and now it's taken a massive turn into something so super serious.

People do roasts all the time, the point of a roast is to laugh at them!

As far as tips go, here's one.

If you don't like a thread, don't read it.

Maybe if it was titled as 'take the p.i.s.s out of a forum member' ......I could then stay clear!

Seeing as you're so well versed in the T&C's ...

As I mentioned before if you don't like a thread don't read it and don't comment in it.

It's not that hard really.

I would agree if said forum member had stated that he was offended, however, in Superyobs first thread that said forum member actually posted laughing at himself stating something along the lines of mimicking is the best form of flattery. Sure, that forum may have sent a pm to someone stating that was offended, and if he has, well then maybe I would think differently.

Another thought may be that the forum member won't speak up about being bullied for fear of being ridiculed. However, this forum is THE MOST moderated forum that I am a member of (that is a compliment to the administrators and moderators), and based on that, if said forum member has/had expressed any concerns the moderators would have taken the necessary action.

Sorry to derail the thread.

1tuffute, we could go around in circles here and get really wound up about nothing. The fact of the matter is that I have had an amicable discussion with Hulk_I6t, have not personally attacked him or called him names, but have seen fit to have fun with some of his posts. I have agreed to cease and desist yet you are still fighting the 'good' fight while standing on shaky ground it seems.

Well here is a joke you might enjoy:


I hope you enjoyed that one but I also hope you did not laugh AT anyone...

Yes and I was happy with your original response. Examples in this thread alone have people calling his opinions bull****, calling him herpes and as mentioned laughing AT his expense. It's the thread as a whole, along with previous well known comments and opinions that all add up. I was expressing my distaste in a thread devoted at laughing at one person.

And sorry Gosolane.... But P.I.S.S was not a swear filter avoidance. It's an acronym meaning slang talk and chat against normal cultural tendencies. Passive Ignorance (forget) Strike.

I'm just responding to you, so feel free to continue

[Vesper Martini]

Jeez this threads been ruined..

[buggerlugs]

Doesn't take much, does it.............

[gossy]

Geebuz 1tuffute, you defended hulk many a time and you always said if you don't like what you are reading, just leave the thread, and let sleeping dogs lie, but you have just been going on and on in this thread.

Time to move on I think mate.

Keep up the great satirical work superyob, we know many a comment in here is said tongue in cheek and in gest.
