In that question about the guy who impersonated the inquirer's mother, at least half of the people who answered said it was perfectly okay to give the guy the silent treatment. I suggested that she should at least tell him why she's upset and give him a chance to apologize, and got thumbed down!
I'm simply amazed at how thin-skinned people can be. It's not like the guy was a stranger. They knew each other. He clearly didn't mean any harm. I thought more people would be able to see past their kneejerk reactions. What's up with that?

I just saw that question and your answer. You can feel better now---I gave you a thumb up because I agree with you! I think he was just trying to be funny. Some people have no sense of humor at all.

Some people are thin skinned and can't take a joke. Or don't even have a sense of humor.
I think I read the question you are talking about (though I don't do thumbs down) and the way I understood it was that the guy always (lately) mocked her mother. However I could be wrong about that. I believe if that was the same question I was more offended at the person who said something about giving him a break because 50 was old. I am too close to 50 to be amused by that. LOL

Because they have no sense of humour or sense of fun and should be shot because they're so boring=D
