Please don't, keep being fun!

It works here on HN too, many of my comments are upvoted jokes and I liked yours. It's sad it attracted animosity though.

I like browsing HN mostly for the interesting discussions, but I enthusiastically take the occasional jokes that come with them.

(I might have been upvoted by people taking my jokes seriously now that I think about it. I don't know if this is a terrifying or a funny thought!)

Seems reasonable.
