I agree with what others are saying here.
I usually give thoughtful responses, but I am for sure can be satirical and can be pretty iron harsh when I think someone is an idiot.
I have been called a troll many times, when I know I have not been one. Many others have liked my comments.
Unfortunately, there is no studies on humorless assholes.
There's that study that shows that 80% of drivers think that they are above average drivers. I think that is the same with humor. Except 97.9% of people think that they have an above average sense of humor.
I like what one of the sentence in the wikipedia entry says under "satire".
"Common uncomprehending responses to satire include revulsion (accusations of poor taste, or that "it's just not funny" for instance) and the idea that the satirist actually does support the ideas, policies, or people he is attacking."
Voltaire wrote the greatest satirical work in Western Civilization - "Candide". Voltaire signed with a pseudonym: "Monsieur le docteur Ralph", or "Doctor Ralph". Candide was in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, the Roman Catholic Church's list of prohibited books. Candide's ban lasted into the twentieth century in the United States. For example, Candide was barred from entering America: in February 1929, a US customs official in Boston prevented a number of copies of the book, deemed "obscene".
So, I'm SURE that all those stiff humorless assh-les thought Voltaire was a troll and an assh-le.
So, really, my take on it is, that I don't give one little sh-t what people think of me, beyond a certain point. If I know I'm not being an assh-le, then that is all that counts to me, and everyone else is wrong, even if it is 95% of reddit, haha.
