JoeUser: Silly Comments NOT Allowed!

We shall have NO silliness here! Hey! You in the back! Is that a SMILE I see?!!?

JoeUser... I come before you on a matter of grave import. I come to speak to an issue that threatens the very fabric of our little Universe, our sacred corner of the great Information Superhighway. This is a disease of the mind, one that is highly contagous and is slowly eating away at the moral and intellectual fiber of this great place.

You know what I speak of, deep in your hearts you know exactly what this threat is....

Silliness.

Yes, that's right, silliness! It comes disguised sometimes as goofiness too. Occassionally it sneaks in under the pretense of whimsy or light-heartedness. Do not let these subtle acts of humor go unnoticed! Seek them out, punish them fully and drive them out of our sight! We can not allow "humor" to corrupt any article that is not designated as humor. We can not allow jokes to lessen the value of what is written here! JoeUser must be a haven for those of us who want to write about book lines or tattoos or other items of great meaning and importance without fear of irreverant comments destroying the profound and deep meaning behind the words.

This "silliness" goes well beyond comments though. Yes my friends, this conspiracy of non-serious behavior goes much deeper I'm afraid. Some take it so far as to write humorous articles, or adopt over-the-top fictional personas that lay it on so thick it should be impossible to mistake it as real or serious. These people are the very bottom of the barrel, the very dregs of our virtual society as they spend their time here writing absurd and histrionic pieces. Every "false" story written lessens the value of the serious, hard-working individuals here when they themselves share with us the deeply dramatic experience of going to the grocery store, or filling up a tank of gas. Those jokers ruin this place for those of us who want to engage in serious debate over the better TelleTubby, or our favorite shade of orange.

Together, we can band together and drive out these heathens, these writers of humor, these bringers of mirth and merriment where we expect, nay DEMAND, absolute seriousness.

Join me, JU Brothers and Sisters in my campaign! We shall make this place once more safe for the self-important and humorless!

Hrrm... I'm torn. Is a forum-bump comment too non-serious to be allowed here? Maybe if I write it with a very stern and concentrating face.... Mock not these words, for they come from the very depths of my soul and insulting them is an insult to me!

Ok, I think the comment is serious enough now.

Anyone remember the Monty Python bit where Graham Chapman dressed up in that officer's uniform and yelled a lot about not allowing silliness on his watch? I wrote the article in that mental voice.

And here I was longing for more silliness...if only so I could feel at home.

Sacrasm is the most difficult to detect of all the nefarious forms of humor. It parades around as a serious comment unless looked at from the proper angle. You, my old-fart neocon friend, are one of the more devious offenders of this new No-Fun policy I'm trying to get off the ground. When I come to power as the Content Nazi of JU (there are several I'll have to fight for the title with), you and your kind will be the first on the chopping block!

You misspelled Teletubby.

And obviously, LaLa is the best.



Now, which BooBah is superior is plenty debatable.

I have no opinion. I can only say positively that the purple one is gay...

I think BooBah's and Teletubbies are in the name category: stupid.

I love irony. I just wanted to note that. Irony is the raw ore of which humor is but a finished product.

Gah! I walk away from the thread for a few days and look what happens! Humor! Mirth! Merriment! THIS MUST CEASE IMMEDIATELY!

Only serious topics regarding factual events may be discussed here on JU. This thread wasn't meant to be a gateway to goofiness! It was a wake up call to those of you who want to bring this site down from it's maximum Rod-Up-Arse potential! You people are preventing JU from becoming the online home for the Stuffy and Humorless.

I see more drastic measures must be taken.....
