Why don't we all acknowledge that sometimes what we find funny others may not? Humor requires an objectivity that some possess and some don't, and those who don't may never be able to step far enough away to be able to laugh at certain situations. So instead of getting into a "It's funny!" "It is not!" "Is too!" type of fight, why not just say it's all good as long as no one gets hurt and let it go? (And yes, since most of you will be wondering, I love UserFriendly . . . but I'm also computer illiterate. Objectivity anyone?;))
They probably do have bigger problems. The issue is far too complex to insult it by chalking it down to a simple gaming problem. The question is, though, who's going to teach them not to blow someone away in real life when it's okay to do it on a screen?
