It is possible for people to understand that you are joking, yet not like it and consider it conversational noise.

- chris_mahan 13y agoConversational noise? Does one consider things one does not like to be "conversational noise?" Oh well. One learns, someday, to welcome dissent.
- scott_s 13y agoThere's a difference between "I do not like this, but it adds to the conversation" and "I do not like this, and it adds nothing to the conversation." The point of the moderation system here is to reduce noise and promote signal. One-liners and drive-by sarcasm do not add much to the conversation.
