Wow, so much salt. It was a joke.

You should have left "/s" at the end of your comment, it's really hard to distinguish between a joke and stupidity on the Internet.

They did add a /s to the end. The user you were replying to wrote the comment that the stupid comment was replying to!

[maxioatic]

It is there. At the end of the line.

To me this undermines any humour the comment may had to begin with.

[xapata]

In that case, it was an unnecessary joke and not helpful to the conversation.

[maxioatic]

Sorry, I'll refrain from humor from now on?

[jraph]

Please don't, keep being fun!

It works here on HN too, many of my comments are upvoted jokes and I liked yours. It's sad it attracted animosity though.

I like browsing HN mostly for the interesting discussions, but I enthusiastically take the occasional jokes that come with them.

(I might have been upvoted by people taking my jokes seriously now that I think about it. I don't know if this is a terrifying or a funny thought!)

[xapata]

Seems reasonable.

Go to reddit if you want to make average IQ humor.
