I can't say that I agree with him about everybody needing to keep on the subject and always be relevant. Whereas it is desireable, if no forum guidelines are broken there is nothing to stop someone cracking a joke every now and then. We are all human and have our different views and also thoughts. Normally one piece of information will trigger a thought particular to each individual and this can be shared if the individual thinks fit.
This also gives us an insight to each of our personality which over the internet is normally difficult to gauge.
For example, we can plainly see that truthwalker is extremely methodical and pays attention to detail, perhaps more than the average person. On the other hand, Brook seems to like to smile more and takes life on a more lighter note. Is there anything wrong with this? Of course not. Would these differences lead to conflict? Sometimes. One thing we must all learn to have is 'tolerance and understanding'. The cost for this? It's free.
Best regards,
Steve

I also don't mind the odd joke. Sometimes things are said in threads (even serious threads) that beg to have a joke made about them. But there's a difference between having a friendly joke and singling out a particular poster to make fun of -- just because that's the in thing (by a group) that day. There's a difference. Many times a joke isn't a joke. It's plain out jest, intended to cause problems.
