Funny People -- Not

Woolly, I wish you'd stop posting threads like this where you single out certain people but don't say who they are, but everyone knows who you're talking about.

If you have a problem with someone, private message them. Doing it this way is mean and just causes negativity and drama.

To be honest, you seem very sensitive and passing agressive about it.

And you surely seem to like to tell people what to do... how approach their treatment and how to communicate and how to never joke....

My only advice is to try and avoid people like this, and practice letting go of the irritation - not easy, I know! I also make it clear to the person (I have one in my life, too) when the jokes are in poor taste.

But to answer the inquiry of this thread, no, jokes don't bother me, as long as there in no ill intention behind the joke, and if the joke IS bothering me, I would TELL the person making the joke and they would most likely stop.

On the board I haven't seen any ill intentioned jokes, just ones that seem meant to make the person feel better (not always working).

With jokes you have to look at the INTENT behind it.

And again, bothering you, TELL THE PERSON TO STOP, and they most likely will.

And don't do it in a ********, passive agressive way, woolly.

I understand the intention of this thread, but please stop, it's becoming hurtful.

Okay, I admit that last post was going too far.

I want this thread taken down. I really wish it would be.

Honestly, I have hard time not to take this thread personally, because I tend to make dark jokes. The intention is never hurtful though, it's just a worldview.

If you look at any person, they do have pattern of responding to things. It comes from their experience and what not.
