I gotta level with you dude, your sense of humor is very different from UG's in general. Like to me chookie was joking when you called him out on saying nirvanaluvr was a slut. It goes both ways.

Lame. Joke privileges rescinded.
Hey man, I got some laughs

It's because you're white and aren't of the select few who get away with stuff.

I know that. (I'm pretty sure, half the time that, when people laugh at my jokes, it's because they're so terrible. Which is fine with me, lol. I mostly make jokes because it amuses me anyway.) But it was pretty obvious to everyone, I think, that making fun of British food is a joke.

That explains it. What bothers me, though, is that the "select few" always tend to act so damn smug.
In particular, it annoys me that blake sticks his nose in just about everything.

I called him out because he kept doing it, and it was getting to be a bit much. I even made a slut joke towards nirvanaluvr, for the record. He kept doing it, which could've been taken the wrong way by her and everyone else.
I think UG's just in their phase of being overly correct about stuff in a really smug fashion.
It's like how a few years ago, they were all smug about being anti-theists.
Because whoever's more "right" - or derisive of any humour that isn't meta as a bottomless pit - is more "intelligent" and the feeling of being intelligent boosts their egos. It's a pissing contest. That's all it is for so many UGers, or at least it appears to be to me. It's like people who care about likes on Facebook, or karma on reddit - except they're
obviously above that.

To be fair though, even if you weren't joking - British cuisine is mostly stolen from other countries, and... yeah, it's pretty shite.

Thing is, if that's being intelligent, then I don't wanna know what being dumb is. I've been told by many people (including teachers and professors) that I'm a pretty smart guy. I see no need to go around trying to prove it on UG. But what I'm saying is that they act more like morons than intelligent people. Seriously, resorting to insults when you don't like a comment/joke is pretty juvenile. And that's exactly what I've seen on UG tons of times.
Edit:
The really sad part to me is that it's a bunch of college-aged guys acting like middle schoolers. They form a clique of 5-10 users and act like they're the top of the Pit. I'm really getting to where I don't even see the point in the Pit.
I have lost interest in UG and the internet as a whole. I mostly come on to read the news, do some research, use it for homework and listen to music. That's the way it should be to be honest; so much of my life has been wasted on the internet.
For the most part it is a complete pissing contest. That forum is gradually returning to the days of 2009, but at least then it was fun. Not only is it starting to look more like 2009, but we are all adults now (except for me). For a while it was a good forum and relatively 'intelligent' to an extent.
I'll continue to post on UG and MTB a couple times a week so I can keep in touch with my 'e-friends' and I'll still try to write reviews (lol I got lazy very quickly).

They're probably doing what users on other sites with regs that have been around for awhile do, it's probably because some of them have been popular for so long, it's gotten to their head and now they have a massive ego over things.
Or they just get off on "winning" arguments with 15 year olds.
