MB board and usage

[Mike Abberton]

Fair enough Mike.....I like your point about the need to define or explain a joke totally defeating its' purpose. A smiley might help. There is always, of course with humour the likelihood of language difficulties....even with those whose common language is English.

And of course, if the thread itself is a not a, shall we say, vigorous one ;), then there is no need to hold back on the humour in my opinion. I doubt too many people want a dry, stuffy MB to read any more than they want a constant flame-war either.

It's just seems to me that as the debate gets hotter, that a little more caution should be exercised to not to be misunderstood.
