This is a serious question isn't it???? Humor has it's place in illustrating human foibles, but is often misused as a disguised attack. In logic it is sometimes used by what is called "reduction to the absurd-um" ,showing that the other sides contention is illogical and ridiculous.
RULE OF THUMB: Take what people say seriously, unless your watching a stand-up comic on TV. Humor has in it a grain of truth. Take any threats seriously regardless of the context-- there in no such thing as a joking threat!!!! The very concept of a joking threat is a nonsequitur!!!!! Also violence of any kind is not funny!!!!! General rule---Don't be stupid!!!!!!

It is hard to tell until you get to know another person and see how they relate the question but I think I know when you are joking or not or at least I would hope so because you are upfront person and when you joke it is usually evident .

If I've had contact w/them in the past usually I can. Some people's sense of humor is just odd or quirky to me. A lol or smiley helps a great deal.

Yes, but I have the problem of some people not knowing when I am joking, or when I'm serious they think I'm joking.

Yes, most of the time I can, unless its a person that I've never met and they're being sarcastic at the same time.

Most of the time, but then I can also tell when, someone is just trying to be a snob, or sarcastic. I can't tell you why some people have to insult others though.

It's hard to tell when womeone is joking in PRINT. No facial expressions, no tonal variance. Inorder to "tell" if someone is joking, the Q has to phrased to indicate it.
