Personally, I think this goes for any form of internet communication forms (i.e. FB, email, Twitter, etc) people tend to take what might have been sarcasm/trying to be funny from the poster as something hurtful to the reader. Since we are all sitting behind a screen, we can't gauge the tone of voice in written words. I am the kind of person that wears their heart on their sleeve. And reading sarcasm without an "LOL" or smiley face at the end, sometimes makes me feel as if I were being attacked. I agree with whom said that we need to take everything being written with a grain of salt. And it is easier said than done for us softies, but as long as we let it roll off like water on a duck's back, we'll all be fine. Ohana or not. And I like to pick and choose who I want to interact with online, be it here or anywhere else. You can usually tell by people's post what kind of person they are. Some are consistantly snarky and seem almost hurtful, while others seem like peace lovin' flower children. And I'll pick the later of the two.

So in closing, I leave you with this conclusion...in the words of Rodney King, "can't we all just get along!?"
