in this day and age I f***ing hate people 'fishing' (not the puns) on the net.

With no frame of reference, no visual clues, no context it's just saying (typing out) something which people naturally take at face value. Fine when you're obviously taking the piss or there are enough clues and it goes over some people's head, that's funny, but a lot of dicks just write something untrue then haw haw when people assume it is true. Cock knockers.

Good call. Although it IS funny when somebody writes something that they DO believe, and then when it is mercilessly shredded they then try and pretend that it was just a wind-up and ha ha you all fell for it.

Puns. Any thread on NSC that turns into puns I close down. Humour for dullards without a personality.

Humour derived from the misfortune of others, otherwise known as shadenfreude is the lowest in my opinion.

I agree with this. In particular, belittling one's girlfriend or other half on a public forum is particularly disgusting and something I hold no truck with.
