Steve, I agree 100% with the above. But not all of us are Buddhas 
incarnate. We are all sensitive about a few things, we all have our 
buttons as we say. And insult, taking or giving it is still a reality in 
this world.

Please put the blame on the insult-or first and not the insult-ee :)

No, it is not necessary to include :), ;), as long as you make a clear 
point of being humorous, as a writer. If not, you may be misunderstood. 
And if the readers takes the wrong message because of this it is not 
their fault.

Can you really say that the comment was so blatantly humorous to you but 
only me and a few others did not understand it?
