Cleric, do you think we should continue the delusion that this thread still has any meaning, or just go on with our lives? Indefinitesilence, you've been so timid and silent on this thread that it's frightening, but please don't be afraid to voice your opinion on this matter. ;-) >timid and silent

Oh my God. That's got to be a joke. That's a joke, right? No, I'm serious, if that's not a joke, I will slap you into next Thursday.

I have words for days.

Also, I have a letter for both you and Umbreon.

(these aren't real messages or else I would send them to your talk pages, dummy)

Dear Raidra,

Please get a profile picture. Without any sort of semblance that you are a capable enough human being to do a quick search on Google Images of *insert favorite thing here* and upload it, you look like a massive newb. This isn't my opinion, but rather my observation of the world around me. Also, please take some time in your life to be less serious. No one likes serious people, and that's why we hate the government.

Love,

Indefinitesilence

Dear Umbreon,

Do not listen to the Trollpasta Wiki. Contrary to popular belief, most of the members on that site are as mentally handicapped as the stories they produce. Like Raidra, you need to enjoy a bit more random in your life.

Hate with all your heart,

Indefinitesilence

So, yeah. Of course I was joking. That's why I added the wink emoticon, to show I was being ironic.

I honestly don't know where all these comments about being less serious are coming from because I've made a number of jokes and lighthearted comments on this thread (as well as on other threads, on blogs, and in the "Random Scary Movie Thoughts" section I added to my profile page). Check for yourself. I spouted gibberish in one comment to show that I could be just as random and nonsensical as the next guy, and you said, "I'm not going to stop being me because you're criticizing me," something people generally say only when they feel they've had their character insulted. That immediately made me more serious because I was confused and worried that I had inadvertently insulted you. You acted like you were offended and I had meant absolutely no offense. In fact, I wasn't even addressing anyone in particular, so I made no idea where that comment was coming from. I posted a lighthearted response to show that there was no criticism intended, and later made a joke to honor your recent lengthy posts (like a roast), and now you threaten to slap me (though I assume that's a joke), call me a "dummy" (I'm hoping that's a joke too), and tell me to be less serious. I was actually less serious before you made those comments because now I have the impression that you're lashing out at me because I've somehow hurt your feelings without meaning to. Without the recent comments I would have cracked more jokes and made more random commentary. It seems that the more I joke around and try to be friendly on this thread, the more I get criticized for being "serious". Since my being on this thread is causing you irritation, then I'll leave it rather than make you more uncomfortable. Like I said, I don't know what prompted these recent comments, but have a good weekend.
