Suggestion April Fools went too far

[ohmdiver]

This past 4/1 the mods decided to allow certain controls to be turned of to help play a joke on the rest of us. (I am pointing directly at the
"Pssst...lets talk about them while they are not here" thread in Humor forum)
In a pm to me I was accusesed of personally attacking someone.

I fell for the joke and unintentionally caused someone else some pain.
For causing someone else pain I am truelly sorry.

In my pm to the person who clued me in, I asked if anyone else was asked to apologize for undue pain caused by this joke?

Does anyone else think this joke went to far? or had the potential to go too far?
Is anyone else feel any undue pain because of this "joke" thread?

I thought it was great fun! there was a couple of times that newcomers to the site got very concerned but I saw many times that people would explain to them what was going on, or to remember what day it was .. I think for most it was a refreshing bit of silliness ... Kudos to Net Doc and El Orans (& justleesa for playing along nicly )

I gotta say, spent the day :laughing: my :mooner: off!

I'm sorry that you seem to have fallen through the cracks Susan, when it came to others letting you in on what was going on

Thats okay DB, as least I was able to provide some entertainment to someone else and hopefully made them smile at least. you know what they say about experience its best learned by someone else!

I too am upset that DandyDon was not talking about me, and I was ready to leave my wife.....
I too got many threatening PM's, followed by the "Da, disregard, I'm a fool" Pm's once they caught on.....

If you could not handle yesterday, you are pretty thin skinned and will probably have a VERY hard time in life.....:mooner:

Thanks to the Scubaboard Staff! I really needed all the laughs..........

How did I spoil it? I didn't post on any ^you^ threads (as they were obvious to me - thank you very much) - just threads about April Fools going too far. Perhaps you shouldn't insult me about not having a sense of humor when you clearly know nothing about me. I didn't personally attack you simply stated my feeling in a thread ABOUT April Fools going too far - far more than I care say for ^you^.

So don't participate. Nobody was forcing you to read the joke threads (which were pretty obvious...especially to someone with your powers of observation.)

Wow, I'm the one who spoils it and is a snob in a thread about it going too far. I stayed out of the ^you^ threads yesterday and was simply stating my opinion in a thread specifically about not liking the April Fools threads, yet someone even suggests I leave ScubaBoard totally. That I find funny. How dare you not find something funny that I find funny, please leave this scuba forum immediately.

If you don't like it, please feel free to leave the site. Only a few snobish people did not have a good time with it. We all did.
