"I disagree. In this case, I did include an emoticon, to show I was joking, but Scott's friends might still have taken offense that "someone" was making fun of his physical appearance. By adding that he's my brother, I indicated that I am the only person on this Forum in a position to make that particular joke."

Exactly my point.When Kani mentioned that it should be a good idea to do a background check on landlords and I said that we will start with her first(she is a landlord),I knew that it will be OK with Kani.
But for someone this joke might sound rude if they don't know that me an Kani can exchange that kind of jokes.
I bet some forum troll starts screaming "personal attack".
Then some folks with good intentions will start defending Kani.
I was really tempted to post the same joke about "poor calf".
I guess being a very nice guy Kahunascott would have forgiven me.
But this kind of joke is more appropriate for close friend or family.
Those smiles are one- dimensional and not good in every case.
