personally theres a big difference to me between personal attacks and just friendly ribbing or acting up a little for a laugh.
The day we can no longer crack a harmless joke is the day I'll disappear from the board.
I try to find something funny in just about everything in life each day.
The president of my company has stated before that one of her fav characteristics of me is that I can lighten up even serious / tense moments and keep everyone in that moment sane just by cracking an offbeat joke when not expected.
I just hope it never comes to the point that the board's butthole is puckered air-tight cause we have to conform to each and every imbalanced nut that flies off the handle at an obviously harmless comment.
what a boring board it would be ....
