Why is it unacceptable to you for someone to explain why they do not find something funny?
We are really not all the same. HN is a big old forum and there is no such thing as a normal response.
That person was describing their personal reaction to ... something. I don't think that proscribing dogma is helpful in response.

- gerdesj 4y agoDifferent people see humour in different ways or even not at all. Do I really need to spell it out?
- Ensorceled 4y agoNo, but maybe I do … Don’t yuck someone’s yum. Let people enjoy things. Don’t rain on the parade.
- enedil 4y agoI believe that it is in spirit of this website that you are encouraged to explain poorness of a joke, if you find it poor. After all, if it inspires curiosity what's the issue?
