I come here to interact with other human beings who share a (very generally) similar interest and occasionally to write haiku responses that make me (but perhaps no one else) laugh.

I am falling out of my chair over the random haikus in Intros these days - keep em coming :)

Not to mention that what a poster thinks of as clear albeit direct advice is all too often assumed by an op to be deliberate snark or desire to hurt. If you come on asking for advice but really only want to hear that what you plan to do is the right thing, even when it's obvious to all that it isn't, then you will interpret any other advice as deliberate cruelty.

No one expect to be treated with kid gloves. If it walks like a duck and quack like a duck I would say it is a duck. If you meant it to be a deliberate snark or desire to hurt than that is what it is. As I said before you take a post in the respect or lack of respect it is given. One of the best post I saw had sarcasm + sharing knowledge + insulting with a bit of psychology added. If that is the way it was given then that is the way it has to be taken.

I'm here for entertainment, no other reason. When I'm bored and nothing else to do I come here. It's like watching the Jerry Springer Show. There's always a trainwreck about to happen that you just can't turn away from.
