You don't have to laugh at him for something he can't help. If he does have a phobia, it's not his fault. If he doesn't, no big deal. But it's still rude of you. You can find stuff funny, but you can't laugh AT him for it.
Honestly I think of "Heheheh" as a small chuckle and not laughter intended to hurt anybofy.
I was surprised to see a post like that coming from someone like you, Vid.
See it's posts like these directed at me that makes me want to leave more and more. They also give me ANGST, which is fitting for this thread.
Have I not said in the past that text shows no emotion? I
DID NOT mean to hurt Glorb in any way. I thought what he said was a little funny, so I chuckled out loud a bit, and showed that I did so, in text. That's it.
How many times must I assure you people I'm not acting mean and I'm not trying to be mean or insulting? I apologize if it comes across that way, but I'd hate myself for a good long time if I ever harshly laughed at someone who didn't want to be laughed at. I've been at the wrong end of that situation too many times myself.
So, next time I might seem to be doing that, and you feel the need to defend someone from me when you don't really need to, remember this:
DON'T DO IT. PLEASE.If I come across as harsh, insulting, or just mean in general, it's just in your mind. I don't want to have to put smileys in my sentences again to show that I'm not serious. I really do like to think of myself as a nice guy, and it hurts me to see people defending others from me because you're interpretting what I say the wrong way.
