Pilk,
It would depend on how sarcastic the bad joke is. We do speak freely here while respecting each other's feelings. Speaking freely does not involve hurting someone's feelings or making them feel bad.
We all get in our moods, but we don't direct them at or take them out on each other. I'm not nice all the time either. But I'll be tarred and feathered if I'm going to come on here and subject those who suffer from epilepsy too to me when I'm like that.
No one is nice all the time. I'm bipolar, I know this very well. But the point of this site is to reach out to others. Not make them feel them feel they just got sucker-punched for checking their post.
Feeling ticked, pissed, mad at the world or me? Go on your blog and yell it to the whole site. We all get mad and don't hesitate to say so. I don't and I have a feeling you won't either.
Now, if you're game, let's start over:
Hi pilk, welcome to the site! I hope you come to enjoy meeting the people here. And I'm wishing you a wonderful day. Smiles!

yes to all you say I cant argue that. Sometimes the truth hurts. If I say something that hurts someones feelings its cause I had a point to make that I considered to be valid. Could it hurt if there was no truth to it? I really am not sadistic. I like to think I am just a little bitter.I am going to visit my ex now,who happens to be bi-polar ,with a bunch of other stuff going on. I think it would take a team of docs to figure out what the deal is with her.I will try to have a wonderful day and I hope you do too.

If someone can take a bad joke without getting bent out of shape ,thats someone I want to talk to. If this place is someplace you can speak freely without fear of being banned its a place I want to be. Sometimes I am nice,sometimes I am not. I dont trust someone who is nice all the time.
