I've used the 'funny' tag to basically say, "Do not take this seriously." I'm not saying it's funny. It's there so if someone comes along to misinterpret a joke and get all angry, I can show them their mistake, and then hopefully they calm down.
It is divisive, especially now since the entire community is small. Shooting for an even smaller community is probably not good for business at this point.
I had a feeling, of all the people here, you, would totally understand where I'm coming from here. I've been thinking about how you do things as well. We're in the same... canoe. Paddling upstream for fuck sakes...
