I come here from all.

Though when I do post a comment about the accuracy of a joke or some kind of serious angle, I don't intend to imply "stop having fun!"

I enjoy learning and seeing things that challenge my assumptions, so when I comment a "joke killer" comment, it's meant as a "while we're on the topic, this might be interesting".

I reject the idea that the only reply one should make to a joke is "haha" and then move on. Especially when the response makes a good point, like IMO the parent comment to this one did: some interpretations of "snitches get stitches" are more about protecting abusers than discouraging betrayal.

The comic was still funny.
