There are some jokers here, but generally they aren't malicious, and you probably would want to have a beer with them, and since Puna is so sparsely populated, you probably will!
Ha! Excellent point.
And I totally agree.
99.967324% of the time the mean ol' nasty jokers among us (be they male or female) are simply trying to lighten things up a bit.
Comic relief is a good thing! People playing the devil's advocate, in the sense that they make me think outside my teeny tiny preconceived-idea-box is appreciated. And satire, a sophisticated oft-misunderstood form of humour and means of getting one's point across, can be a very very good thing for me to cerebrally-slosh-about-in as well.
And as for the occasional detour, the veering off-center/off-topic for a bit? Ha! What's the big deal?
None of it's life and death, thank god, and sooner or later a designated-driver-type will grab the wheel and gets things back on course. (Perhaps not in the same exact direction as the thread-initiator intended for it to go, but on course just the same).
Lack of censorship's a very good thing.
And so is a wee bit of ego-armor.
