What sort of humor do you appreciate?

If you think that borders on sexual harassment then I think you are being overly sensitive. You have to give people a chance to be people. We're not robots and we don't always make decisions that you would make but you have to go with the flow. You can choose to find the rotten in everything if thats what you focus on. But if you want to be truly happy try to focus on finding the good, the humorous and the enjoyable parts of people. You'll find that people are pretty fun actually and you'll find you have less reason to be mad, sensitive and rude to others (I'm using your words there - not mine). There was no reason to think of me as rude or to flame me over my comment. It was light hearted and not intended to create an exchange of insults. You can see that in my posting history. Clearly when I want to insult and be rude everyone is aware. There's no question about my intent when rude and insulting are my goal

<<I think you've blown it out of proportion>> Thats not possible because I hadn't made a single remark about the subject since the post. I only replied each time you raised the stakes on the issue. We've now gone from "That's not really the kind of joke I'm comfortable with" to "border on sexual harassment." In a couple posts you'll probably be screaming rape. Can't you see how you've blown this situation out of proportion? Don't you see the same pattern in your relations with other people? Was it really worth going this far with me - a guy who doesn't pester you folks at all? I'm sorry but if this is how you react to things I think you're just laying for a battle so you can scream victim.
