alkhemst said:I did find it funny, but it was the string of subsequent comments that made me think about it more. Maybe it doesn't apply though here and yeah self importance carries me away often, so that's a factor for sure. The general thing about humor I was reflecting on was how it covers a certain level of insensitivity to others. I mean some people find humor in others' ignorance / pain / stupidity etc. I also was thinking say another forum had a thread going ridiculing Laura's work and there was a kind if group-think humor happening with a bunch of encouraging comments. The basic mechanics in it might not be that different. So that led me to make the comment, but maybe I'm clouded somewhat in this approach and again, it might not apply here. Thoughts welcome :)
Do you see no difference between sincerity and working towards truth versus lying and conning people?
