When did I say that saying any of this was a horrible thing that should be rectified? Approximately... never. =) Simply because I go into specifics on why a joke is stupid to me rather then funny doesn't mean that I'm not understanding the concept. Am I supposed to be dumb, give a plain "lol tht wus funi" and go on my merry way? I thought I was being at least slightly clever, thank you. But then again, there's a reason for all those "dumb male" jokes. =) After all, parody is funny. Playing on small details that could be considered stereotypes is funny--that's what you're saying, right? So it's all the same to say that men are stupid dogs, because that's where all the jokes go. And that's funny too, right? =)
I've been interacting with gamers and other computer science students too often. I'm being reminded of exactly why I tend to avoid the general community. Expecting me to conform to the "normal person" framework is not exactly going to work well. And if you find that annoying or frustrating, I suggest avoiding me in the future, as I may actually do the same for you. =) My goal, after all, is not to frustrate people--simply to state my opinion on various aspects of love and human behavior. That's what this forum is for, isn't it?
