Because that is one reflection of their on-line persona. There may be some other topics they take seriously, but anything outside of those are fodder for their wit.
Welcome to the internet sadly. Infact. It happens in the real world, face to face, even sader :(
Some people have a good sense of humor, and some are just rude and want attention.
@scamp
I totally agree. I would have said the same. That is what I was trying to do with my question earlier Why does discrimination exist ?
@fabulous
that is exactly why I wrote this question because I was just in wonder to see who would take this seriously and the same for my other question ” has everyone welcomed two…... To fluther?”
Life should be about fun and enjoyment. You only get one life so why waste time not being happy. Just let people do their own thing. They’re just trying to make themselves happy.
Some people do make crude comments and jokes, but you shouldn’t let those get to you. Let those comments go in one ear and out the other. =)
Because some people like you enjoy asking questions like this.
Why do some questions think every person is a joke?
@flip193 I don’t see anything about welcoming ‘two” on your list of questions.
@scamp
that is because the fluther moderators just removed it and said that it is not a real question
I was gonna save the link so I can look at it whenever I need a good laugh.
Have you seen some of the questions here? The diserve that kind of answer.
Maybe they should do the same with this question. It looks like more of a rant to me.
Hahaha! Scamp, you read my mind! I woulda flagged a long time ago had I been at home on my mac.
Oh Wizard…you are gonna get it for this one
I love how this question showed the maturity level of everyone here.
Was this one directed to me or Wizard
It was directed to wizard and scamp and randy
Where did I leave my mini violin??
Grow up scamp you act like a 5 year old
Be careful or they’ll “flip” you
I just want attention. Somebody please love me.
Question, Why do some people think every question is a joke? Asked by flip193 (134) 47 minutes ago 21 responses | “Great Question” (0) Stop following Topics: question, people, joke. Answer, because we are used to answering Fluther questions, the rare questions that only appear on Fluther that makes you say “hey, this is a really well-thought question, maybe I’ll try better next time I ask a question” so when we see questions like this we can’t help but be ashamed.
@flip- look, I tried to put it into perspective for you with my first post. If you let people get to you, with witty jokes and comments, then you might as well get ready to be bothered by people all the time. Everyone has a comment, quote or thought on everything and because no one is the same cookie cutter duplicate, we all have different personalities.
Oh, and by the way, real smooth move telling scamp that she acts like a 5 year old. Way to pull off that “grown up” image.
Also, just because we’re so childish, triangle high five to my homies scamp and wizard! Hahaha!
Hmm. 10 questions you asked have to do with your iPhone. I am pretty sure scamp is mature enough to know how to work something she buys.
I think all your gaming has stunted your sense of humor. But, your question would have indicated an aversion to that anyway.
Randy says it as smooth as it can be said, flip.
Ha! What a laugh! You start a thread to whine because you, got a question removed and now I am the one who needs to grow up? How about you show me an example of what a grown up acts like?
Thank you Randy and Bri_L, my two knights in shining armor!!
whatever who cares I guess your right randy but your the only one that takes something serious unlike your ” homies”
Hey guys, lighten up on flipper. It’s really hard to spell correctly and use proper grammar when you’re busy insulting people.
Randy you would do yourself some good if, say some time away from here would be good, ay?
well you insulted everyone else, come on that’s hardly fair.
Anyone else feel the breeze from all the flags flipping?
Dang, I can’t good answer scamp for some reason but if I could…!!!
@wizard- time away? And miss out on all this action? Your just talking crazy now! ;)
Nah, I was just talking from the eyes of flip193’s perspective, you’re fine :)
@wizard
I said that I am fine with randy what are you talking about??
(he seems to be after you)
Although he isn’t, doesn’t flip seem like one of our well loved friends from the past? Maybe the two can become friends and plot against all of us? Just a suggestion…
@Eambos there is a certain likeness, isn’t there?
Nnnooooooo! Flip, don’t go to the EVIL side!
Did I come back to late for the “I’m gonna make you regret you asked this question” party?
diss Scamp and you’re dissing me!!!!
This question is dumb. Go to the chat if you want to rant “flip”
No!!! Don’t tell him about the chat! That’s the safehouse!
WOW…fairly new to Fluther. Seems like such a fun place with this question! Aren’t we all here just to have fun or possibly learn something? Down boys and girls….
For the most part, yes. =) just be careful when insulting people and follow the guide lines. You don’t want to poke at some dearly beloved jellies and stir up the waters when there is a whole fluther present.
or they will rip you a new… keyboard.
I think we need to try and remember, all together now…
If you don’t like a question ignore it.
whew.
Or flag it if it doesnt meet the guide lines for asking a question.
Hey Wizard, let’s find another question to make fun of
Nobody has call me immature today yet
I do like the dearly beloved jellies who like to have fun! The smart and witty jellies rock, too!
music to my ears…That’s what I needed to go out there and Fluther my ass off
For a new jelly, this can be one of the most intimidating factors involved. You ask a serious question or maybe even a not so serious question, and get answers that aren’t very helpful, but even some that come across as mean spirited. Unless you ask the person who posted the answer, though, you don’t really know what their motivation is. Some people are having bad days, some people might be having a rough patch in their life, and some people can just be mean.
I don’t think, however, that the way this thread deteriorated is what Fluther is supposed to be about. Personally I’m not fond of a gang mentality. The GA points that were awarded during the amount of verbal sparring that occurred here dilute and muddy the lurve system, making it unreliable.
In the end, though, it’s better to come to any site with no expectations of what will occur there, to come with an open mind and accept that people are different and will react differently and not always in the way that we hope or want. My guess is also that while the Fluther elders may not lose sleep over how this thread played out, they probably aren’t altogether happy with it, either. If the moderators saw fit to let the question stand, who are we as jellies to question that, and particularly in the fashion in which it was done.
The spirit of Fluther is one of cooperation, that we are a group that values individualism in the way that it brings diversity to the questions being asked.
@wizard that link represents exactly what I have, I do have a dust mite allergy, and I would ask the point of the link but this post is getting pretty pointless entirely.
Wow , I think this has the most responses in a question ever asked on fluther
WOW! You are ignorant. The most answered question was the original fluther story with over 550 posts.
what I meant to say is it is the most I have seen
I have never seen a post as high as 550. I need to find cooler posts
We need to start asking cooler questions.
I am a big fan of the pun, and sometimes I get a smart-aleck attitude. I always think a laugh is a good thing, but I try not to derail with any wise-crack.
