>A great deal of humor, if not most of humor, is about hostility, anger, pain, and self-deprecation. It is, in short, a time-honored way of dealing with human discomfort. I'm afraid I don't understand YOUR point.
I think this thread is a good example of how this medium is not well suited to certain typesof humor exchange. The thing is, it seems these types of exchanges take us from humor to hostility in a flash; we seem dangerously close to the edge here. What really is the point of this exchange anyway? What do you all want to communicate here?
