Seriously?
I am always polite to moderators and would try to honor their requests, but I have to know the person is a moderator. I have no idea who is on the committee.
Even so, it is not right to tell me to give it a rest when I'm not doing anything but responding to a topic neutrally and the other person is manufacturing the meaning of my comment to mean something it did not.
If a person read the links, the discussion is on whether a joke can be recognized when it is said straight faced on the internet with no smiley and of course no words saying it is a joke.
No one said anything about how a smiley is the only acceptable indicator, so no idea how Tom came up with his interpretation.
