Greatest Physicist Ever - Redux Discussion

OK calm down I was only teasing really anyway, you just had on that, I am an authority head, so I was prodding you for giggles.

How dare you young whipper snapper! claim to be a scientist would you! Fetch my cane I'll lay about this young upstart see if I don't!

Look a scientist is just someone who uses scientific method, usually highly qualified, and a philosopher someone who likes to think about the more esoteric questions. I'm sure the kid wasn't suggesting that he was really a scientist or a philosopher although anyone can be a philosopher, but the ogre appears and swats the young impudent scamp for his precociousness you got to admit it's pretty amusing from my perspective.

Then you must be easily amused.

English humour it revolves around mockery, mostly of ourselves, but others are fair game too, it's particularly used when someone gets a little high and mighty or a little pompous, I wouldn't take it personally it's just our way trouble is some people think we're being offensive but we're not we're just messing for fun. No offence.

But that actually is even more insulting. You make some snide comment and then you tell me I shouldn't be offended because you were just "messing for fun". You can't have it both ways, nor can you control how *I* perceived it.

Just because there have been some folks dumb enough to let you get away with it before doesn't mean you can get away with that all the time.

I can see you don't take to English humour, I apologise if there was any offence, I won't make the same mistake in future. Sincerely I apologise. It's hard to interpret who will take our sense of humour, I'm sorry you don't find light hearted mockery appropriate in dialogue, I'll be sure to remember that. oops. :/

Do you really think though it's done to people who are dumb, why bother, they won't get the joke anyway?

And besides who the hell is dumb on this website, I've yet to meet anyone.

Again I'm sorry, I guess it's not well received to make fun of someone who is being a little pompous, sorry my mistake. And I really didn't mean to cause offence although I obviously did.
