Tea anyone?

[GodofCider]

So, how many escapists out there enjoy tea. What kind, and how do you have it?

I drink Irish Breakfest tea (black tea), with out any sweatener or anything.

Black Pu-erh. Best tea in the world.

Earl Grey usually, but I prefer Green to Black if I can get it. African Bush, Raspberry, and Mint are also good things to mix it up.

Well, since you seem convinced that the site isn't too harsh about doling out blows with the banhammer, then there's really not much to argue about(, even if it was just a joke, and while a wide spectrum of humour is offensive, at least to some degree, apparently every kind of it is "trolling" and deserves mod attention).

And an insult? Really?
Wow.

Banhammer? He got a days probation.
Too harsh? Really?
Wow?

No, certain kinds of humour can be trolling, especially humour directed at specific nationalities on an international website, it's flame bait. Strip away the clever phrasing and he basically says "The Brits are a bunch of women...hurr".

Well, true. But I just use banhammer as, like...y'know. Any mod wrath.

Though it's not really wrath either, but y'know.

And indeed. It's a day's probation. It deserves none.

Also, you can't just say "strip away the clever phrasing and he basically yadda-yadda". All humour is like that. Almost.

I'd say a days probation for that is quite fair.

What? Yes I can. Not all humour is at someone elses expense. He is making a joke aimed a specific bunch of people that can be taken as an insult. He could have said, Tea is a wusses drink, real men drink coffee but instead he decided to add a dig at a certain nationality, that takes it from making a joke to making someone else the butt of a joke.
