If you want, you can look at it from my perspective: I voiced a thesis that was controversial for some, less so for others, and you ridiculed it, and continued to troll in all my subsequent replies. In short, you were rude to me, reducing the [immeasurably great] value of exchanging information on this issue to a clown show.
That's some serious trolling. You really stretched things, of course.
I had already forgotten about this, and now you're starting again. As if on purpose! That's why I'm saying - please, not again, please.
I'm not a telepath, so I can't know that such jokes are really offensive to someone. And you were told "not again" when you were pointed out for a rude remark. So how am I supposed to know about your dislike for such little jokes?
In this case, I personally think that if it's not rude, then it's at least impolite. Someone spends energy, considers something within their focus, in order to express themselves, and someone doesn't care. This doesn't apply to cases like "a jerk rudely posted something," but otherwise, yes. Every time, my heart ached when I saw at school or university how some nerd or geek was ignored, while all sorts of stupid people giggled among themselves or looked at each other in a group, discussing interesting topics, and he/she sat sadly in the corner, staring at the tabletop, and no one would tell him/her what page to read for homework until he/she got sick. Well, that's an extreme case, but it happens in different forms, towards different people. I'm not a big empath, but something like that offends my sense of justice.
But how does this relate to a one-time joke that doesn't really require a response? Seriously, there are things that it's perfectly normal not to respond to. It's not like you were asking a serious question or sharing something dear to your heart. It's a joke of the "said it and forgot it" kind. And if you really want, for some reason, not to leave it unanswered, then a simple emoji is enough to express your emotions. No one asked to start a discussion, and it wasn't needed there. So, this is purely your own quirks. No offense.
Well, in our case, being well-acquainted members of the "community" in normal relationships, simply ignoring something directly addressed to you, even if it's a joke that you didn't appreciate, is just... well, it's just not very polite. On the contrary, the factor of familiarity should, logically, give a little more freedom in expressing your feelings, which would not be available in communicating with a random person who would simply not understand anything, but just in case, would react as he usually does on the street with thugs.
As I said, not all posts need a response, and it's perfectly normal to ignore them.
For example, how can I accept a derogatory joke, knowing that it's not malicious, or how can you - dismiss it as somewhat offensive, knowing the same.
I'd have to find where the derogatory joke is now. And regarding a serious response, it's hard to say anything. Sometimes it's unclear where you're serious and where you're joking. Besides, I remember you getting upset about the phrase that your Malice is the most real maniac.
