I don't know about anyone else, but I for one am relieved when someone comes in and posts something lighthearted to diffuse tension. Haven't we all heard the saying "laughter is the best medicine." ?

And yet I see more than a few people getting bent out of shape over this. When people get upset about something, we're told to drop it. When we try to drop it and steer the subject matter away from something upsetting, we're told to be serious.

Talk about crazymaking.
