I agree Wreck , I have seen some pretty nasty comebacks and really dry humor here.
It's tough to reply sometimes (humor wise) without having it sound like a personal attack , so I usually just go to the next post where I could do some good for someone in need.
The majority of members are pretty good and some are excellent posters.
Over time , you will know which are which , and when to ignore the bologna that is posted by the few...

Since I am a small business owner, and I have one major requirement for anyone I hire (that they be a smart-*** with a good sense of humor), I will answer like I would expect to be treated by anyone that I would have any respect for, had I made this post. (don't ya love that run-on sentence)

You should try posting over in the General Harley Chat area if you think it's rough here. When I post I always get some good responses and some smart *** replies, it takes all kinds to make the world go round. I just laugh at the smart asses and sometimes there sarcasm (you spelled it wrong by the way, no sarcasm intended) is as valid as the straight answers, some people are just sarcastic by nature.
If you are going to hang your laundry out in public you'd better be ready for EVERYONE to look at it.
I think 95% of them are in pure fun. I appreciate that as long as in there ther question gets answered too. It sure would be a boring forum (and world) if there was no humor.
Relax, have a beer, and crack a joke or two. You'll feel better.
I kinda like the sarcasm thrown in now and then. It's usually pretty funny and makes for some entertaining reading. If you're going to be online you need to have a little thicker skin. The wealth of knowledge and help here is incredible but a little humor is okay in my book. If feelings are hurt, that's too bad. I don't think anyone here is trying to do that.
I love to see some real answers and I enjoy some sarcasm.....Usually I see sarcasm depending on the original post..
Get ready to see some real dumb **** being posted now that the winter is here and they are locked away in their homes and cant ride.....
