Yea, I was pretty sure you're right while saying it...but you've been around a while, wasn't really worried about you...I was worried about...
Eff...none of it was serious about anybody. I THINK all the mods I fake-signed know I wasn't being...cuz when I've done similar things none of them [no...one of them, once] have told me "dude, you're being mean." I could be wrong, maybe they think I'm always nudging the line but not crossing it.
I THINK most people take most things at a distance and in context [for proof, I can offer that one long-timer has said to me both "you usually don't rant/get emotional that way without evidence," and "that might be the most interesting idea in this thread." Another "That's ridiculous" and "That's f-ing brilliant." at various times. And not just ME, or just those, I've seen it happen quite regularly between numerous watchers.]
Really, behave how you want...I was just playing a mostly-comedy-central-comedian-marathon-inspired game that had nothing to do with you exactly, except as inadvertent straight man [and probably mostly amusing only myself, though I'm pretty sure a couple other watchers will at least chuckle if they see it]
MOSTLY I just try not to personally and with malice insult others directly...and find myself apologizing occasionally when mistaken communication happens.
If you mostly feel nice/grateful/in a good mood, by all means post nice/grateful/feeling good posts!
EDIT: to add...danlo, I really really don't think you want to use effluent in that way.
