christianluce69 - registering with 69 in the username when your’re not born in 1969 is very funny and no-one has done this before. Not the many, many trolls, wums and comedians on the internet, nor past members on here.
However, with your humerous username… don’t be surprised if others on here join in and the mick a little with you (not at you - with you). If Snooker posts a ‘get out’ gif try to take it in the lighthearted manner in which it was was posted - you may find it better taking it in that context - instead of trying to pull them up on it.
Otherwise the moderators on here could come to conclusion you may be a troll or wum - and your stay here will be a short one.
And that would be a shame - as this seems a decent & promising thread started by you.
Never took it offensively but in real life, I was always rather “socially inept.” Though I am well into my late 30s and should therefore be well-skilled in the handling of “joking with someone,” or “micking” them as you call it, forgive me if I am not. When you deal with years of bullying from essentially age 5 to age 23…(my parents promised it would get better AFTER high school…sigh), then naturally while you may be skilled and mature in areas of a less social nature and still “a little slow” in areas of a more social nature.
In short, forgive me if I still have a mild difficulty with “comebacks” or telling if a person is “micking” me or if they are serious. It’s nothing personal and I am still a nice person. I’m not a completely lost cause otherwise I wouldn’t have a wife and son right now that I totally adore.
Lastly, you can joke with me but if it seems like me not understanding the difference between a joke and reality is enough for people to accuse me of being a “troll” then that is pathetic! Those people shouldn’t banish someone and write them off as a troll just because they can’t come up with clever comebacks or sense when someone is joking with them.
Snooker and TV’s Frink, don’t take it personal. I didn’t know how to react. That’s all. No harm taken here. Give me a chance. I’m cool.
