When we make jokes online, other people don't get to see our winks and nudges, 
or other cues, which tell us that we are supposed to laugh rather than take 
it as an insult. 

Myself, I am obviously effin hilarious, but it doesn't always come through 
that way, and I am baffled when somebody imagines that I was trying to insult 
them. If I intend to insult somebody, I make sure that they know; I don't 
leave it open to interpretation. 

So when somebody makes a joke, and others don't get it, let's just embrace the 
awkward weirdness and keep moving ahead. Assume the best of others; it works. 

Gene is a great guy. Even the few people here who sometimes rub me the wrong 
way (there are only a couple, and it's not often) are better company than 
most of the "real" people that I meet when I leave my desk and venture forth 
into the outside world ... for example, when I go downstairs to get ice, or 
to check for mail. 

We all ought to give one another enough space to speak without immediately 
taking offence.
