Ingenious trick, I need to remember that one.Pimppeter2 said:This Guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view]
I mean honestly, you can just tell by looking at him!
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.spike0918 said:There is a major distinction. If for instance that same guy went up to 5 other people and said that same joke/insult within your earshot, if he then went to you and your the only one who gets angry, you are obviously overreacting.daheikmeister said:How would you feel if a random person on the street just started insulting you? It could be a good joke in context, but at the time you feel pretty damn low. Pranks are meant to be played on your friends, as they know that you wouldn't try to hurt them, but a prank on some random individual can come off as just cruel because they don't know if you're joking or not.spike0918 said:I'm sorry, but what are trying to say here? That you can't even tell that what that was was just a funny prank. Or how you somehow didn't see that everyone and their mother noticed that it was a prank? Had you attempted to read any of the comments about that quote except for yours everyone has noticed this as a prank. I'm sure Pimpeteer had no negative intention by that link (He has hilarious reviews on this site).daheikmeister said:snip
I think it's best if you realized you are being less rational than the annoyingly stupid lawsuits we see nowadays and should gain either a thicker skin or a sense of humor.

EDIT: Sorry for the thread hi-jack. Didn't expect 40+ quotes. Still, it was pretty funny. Days like this is why I love the Escapist.
I understand this point now (as I have spent the last half hour having to argue it with roughly half a dozen people) and I forgive you for it. It's simply that at the time I felt like you were taking a stab at me and though there were hints to the contrary, my first reaction to what seemed to be an insult was not to look at the URL. In my opinion the joke just did not suit the environment because all of us didn't know the full context. Maybe next time you try out an online prank, try to think of how it could be misconstrued. It could save you a lot of trouble.Pimppeter2 said:Sorry if I upset you, but the whole point is that you see it and get confused but then see all the other responses and laugh it off. Whenever someone like you doesn't get it, I fire them a PM about the joke so that they don't take it seriously. I don't let anyone get away hurt. In fact I was going to fire you a PM, then another member told you about the joke.daheikmeister said:Le snip
Its a little forum comedy, something a bit out of the ordinary posting habit.
Like this case.z(ombie)fan said:Snip

Well played.
Your 4th reason made me chuckleethaninja said:Ok so folks, I was kept up until 4 in the morning last night because of some hooligans carrying on outside my street. So I decided to make a post. What is your average douchebag in your area?
For me it would be:
Popped collar
Illiterate, most of the time on purpose
Walks with their pants around their knees.
Spits everywhere for no apparant reason (apparantly its the douchebags version of a cat pissing on everything)
Interrupts everybody
Acts agressive
Likes to say the words: brah, bruz, brue
And just... acts like a complete tool
So fellow escapists, what is your average douchebag?
Again man thanks........Pimppeter2 said:This Guy [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view]
