I downvoted everyone who suggested that we call people who have not yet been exposed to rationality: "ignoramuses", "stupid", "ignorant", or the like.
I would like to grow the LessWrong community, and calling everyone who isn't already one of us names, is not the way to do it. Also, I find it offensive, and would like to see less comments like these.
"A world without humor is indistinguishable from hell." Try to laugh every once in a while, don't take my silly comments seriously.
Useful advise: on the internet no one can tell when you're trying to be sarcastic.
“No one” is way too strong, but it is somewhat harder than in meatspace.
I notice that you didn't actually refute the claim. It seems that both you and the massively downvoted parent could both be true, and the combined suggestion is that communication incentives on the internet encourage a tendency towards hellishness...
O.o

On top of Eugine_Nier said, I would add that when your second post on a site is standing at -10 karma, then you should probably update on your comment being more offensive than funny, rather than just assuming that no one else has a sense of humor.
