It is impossible to know the context of words on the internet without knowing the person using the words.Well, thank you for finally admitting you're a troll.
I feel a big part of the problem is that most times when you're trying to be sarcastic, you simply come across as offensive, and when you're trying to be funny, you come across as serious.
Either that, or...

I think the biggest problem here is that most of you have been here a long time and you have had a long time to learn enough about each other to understand the context of each other's posts. I am relatively new here and not a frequent user of these types of forums or of forums in general. I'm sure there's an unspoken etiquette in using this forum that extends beyond the forum rules. I'm sure I don't know it. I'm sure most of you do. I'm sure part of the reason we don't understand each other's humor is because there are things that people who use these forums regularly don't expect from other users of these forums, one of which is probably language which is hard to decipher. Intent is impossible to determine without asking and undoubtedly no one wants to have to ask every time I post. So, let's approach this from the perspective of me being the new person or the outsider trying to learn how to fit in rather than the perspective of someone just looking to be a disruption because it's possible.
We all enjoy this game or we wouldn't be here.
