OK, I think we all noted the cleverly worded title.
And on the actual subject of the thread title, it’s a good general point. If the subject matter isn’t serious (like the renamed ‘Soccer’ thread), then everything on it should be taken in the light-hearted, occasionally humorous nature in which it was intended.
Interestingly, the main problem I’ve noted since my arrival is people concerned that I might have taken them seriously, not vice versa.
Is it and, or or both? One literally can’t go wrong with taking things literally. Seriously, when should something not be taken literally? As far as taking things seriously goes, everything is serious. Even a joke has serious lessons which can be learned from it. Besides Ebola and Popa of course.
