Ok let's see...yes it appears you care. As you said, "You act like if you walked the streets of NY after 9/11, making jokes about it, people would be cheering you on... I have a feeling the situation would be quite different"
There are better jokes and worse jokes, I didn't think that was news. But I guess it is for you. You also quoted a hypothetical joke someone raised as an example in a specific context, to which I think my reply was spot on and in no way conflicts with what I wrote here. But, hey, they are both "jokes" so you must have done a really good job.
You aren't the person I told I didn't care if they wanted to be humorless or not...
What does it have to do with you at all?
I don't care if you want to be miserable and humorless either, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my responses to you at all?
I'm going to be honest when I say that I'm not quite sure how you can be this confused about this conversation. Like, did you seriously think that me caring if the particular poster appreciated jokes had any bearing on any other joke I ever liked ever? It's beyond me what you think you are getting at. Maybe take a step back and think about this situation instead of trying to get a "slam dunk" on my by using my words back against me.

Then stop posting like a petty 5 year old that's intent on getting a dunk by using a person's words against them in completely nonsensical fashion that literally does not make sense!
