I'm sorry that you got off to a bumpy start here, and even more sorry that my kidding about your Elon portrait may have encouraged it.
It wouldn't be the first time that what I think of as humor causes problems.
We are all real people here, of all sorts. Sometimes the only thing we have in common is that we are flawed.
To keep the peace, we mute or block, also filters are great for making whole topics disappear. Self curation is encouraged.
I hope you're not discouraged.ποΈ
@ceorl Only slightly, am just tired of making myself understood enough to satisfy me much less anyone else.
Am good, I am not blaming anyone but the ones that sling the mudd and you didn't do that on purpose, come on. I make jokes that miss peoples funny bones too. Lol. Quite often I find words funny in themselves! Others don't care for even recognize a good pun.
I'll try the filter idea thanks.
It can be like walking on eggshells, but we must keep on walking.
I never mean anything bad, and yet I've been blocked for joking, blocked for helping, blocked for agreeing.
I try to be careful what I say and how I say it, but I realize I can't avoid misspeaking in some few folks perception.
The warm, friendly, open and interesting people here far outnumber the ones who are less of a delight ;)
