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?

But at least one person said April Fool's Day is childish.

Yeah, but he didn't mean it as a good thing.

And you did.

I know he didn't mean it as a good thing. I still think it's a good thing even if it means "behaving badly". I hate being proper all the time

you should visit more often

Yeah...keep on waiting for Godot....

Thanks for another lesson of English. But at least one person said April Fool's Day is childish.

Not childlike. Childish and boring - was the description.

By the way, did you know that there are numerous health benefits to laughter? Laughter activates the immune system, decreases stress hormones, is great cardiac exercise, and (best of all for divers) enhances the respiratory system: Frequent belly laughter empties your lungs of more air than it takes in resulting in a cleansing effect - similar to deep breathing.

Very true. OTOH, keep in mind, humor is like beauty. It's in the eye of the beholder. One may not see the same beauty you see, but that does not mean they don't appreciate beauty. They merely appreciate beauty in a different way or a different type of beauty that you may not recognize. I find groaners extremely funny, most fail to see the humor in the vast majority (although almost everyone likes the one about the yellow frog). Don't assume folks don't have a sense of humor and enjoy a good laugh just because they don't laugh at the same things that cause you to roll.

After reading this thread, I have discovered one thing that does upset me. Apparently there were some fun photos used as avatars on April 1. I missed them - DAMN! Yes, I know you have needs, you were treated unfairly, but then so were the rest of us who went diving on Sunday. Wait a minute - look at pictures or go diving - sorry for my complaint, I got the best end of that deal after all. Let's go diving and have a few laughs.
