*Is glomped, but is still afraid of getting sick again*
See, what I mean is that there is a difference between making fun of friends, and making fun of people you dislike. It all comes down to one's intentions. When you make fun of a friend, you aren't making fun of them as much as you are the things that they say or do.
Take for example, my predictability in regards to the Ban game. I have no problem with anybody pointing that out with humorous intent, because I know that such a person would not mean any offense by it. They are just making a joke, with a specific person as the source of the humor. It's all friendly, in stark contrast to making fun of a person you can't stand to be around.
