Again, even if the same prank is pulled upon other people, the negative emotions that you feel will still have happened. And while I now know that it was prank, it still does not change the feelings created for the prank. Each individual on first hearing it will still feel insulted until it is explained to them, and as has been previously discussed, a joke isn't funny if it has to be explained, just as with magic losing it's mysticism when you're told the trick. Now to wrap up this little discussion, the joke simply shouldn't have been put up because it couldn't cover for the different ways that peoples brains can work. And I did not over-react to the situation, because over-reacting would have been a hate post that would have included some very choice language that would have made a trucker blush. Mine was simply a statement of my personal feelings regarding the post, and that I had flagged it as something that I felt should not be kept on the forums, though by the amount of resistance I've had to the statement, I expect that it will be ignored anyway.
Someone was offended by a good humored joke? we cant have that. Especually on the
Internet Some one call a mod, or the government or the police. The internet has 2 requirements to use.
1. Dont be a moron.
2. Have a thick skin.
Its the internet, if being called a douche makes you feel "negative emotions" then you clearly havnt been using it long. It happens ALL THE TIME on every forum imaginable, just disagree with someone and find out.
I wouldnt get so worked up about it, its a joke, he didnt mean to hurt your feelings, he wanted to maike you laugh, this isnt some evil dictator sitting at home cackling at your suffering. Learn to take a joke

At first i was like "WTF" but the fact he didnt know me and my HTML checking sense made it pretty clear it was a joke.
