My reaction is a leftover from an attack of killer dweebs on prior forum software. I was told, and did, change the preference setting for myself and no longer even see them. (It would help if they were even remotely humorous, btw)

Maybe everyone else has as well and, if so, then I have no grounds to complain.

But you including me in your latter cast of characters...especially those from other worlds...well you've just gone looney, haven't you?
