      Then why did you choose the negative option? You could have said you really liked the joke in the post. You didn’t need to insult everyone else in the thread and call their stuff less funny. We’re trying to have good vibes here and that doesn’t really jive with it.

        Ok understood. Just wrote what I felt, certainly not to insult.

        Not finding a joke funny is not really an insult, now is it? I might, in retrospect, rather not have said that to avoid being seen as a buzzkill, as now I feel bad.

        I shall try refrain from sourpussery in the future, however I won’t make excuses for how I felt.

          Yeah insult is probably the wrong word on my part but buzzkill is more what I meant.

          Don’t feel bad. I get it. It happens and I’m not blaming you or saying you’re a crappy person or blaming you for feeling that way. I did come off a bit more aggressive than I probably should have and I apologize for that. Rough morning. I’m sorry.

            Cheers mate, this exchange makes me feel a bit better. Updated my main post to reflect that.

            It’s great that you pointed out that I was a downer, trying to protect the positive vibe even when you were having a bad day yourself. I applaud that.

            Hope your day turns around for the better!

              <3

              Again, sorry. I’m trying not to set bad vibes myself so I feel a bit guilty with those messages.

              Thank you and I hope your day is bright, amazing and filled with many happy animal moments. Then again maybe it’s just me being obscenely happy around birds and dogs and shit lol
