[QUOTE="Garraty_47, post: 776971, member: 1547"] There are a lot of reasons such black/white lists are difficult if not impossible for me to sort. One reason is the *unintentional* comedian; that rare treasure of a poaster who seems to have very little concept of irony with the result one has to wonder how they manage to feed themselves around the foot that's almost constantly lodged in their pie hole. Does it still count as "funny" if it's unintentional? That's a judgement call, surely. (ex.- see: Breakfall) And what about those poasters who *used* to be funny but are a bit off their game in recent years? Do they get legacy'd into the 'Funny' list despite their recent efforts or do they get relegated to the 'Boring' list despite their history of being competent humorists? (ex.- see: Aylana) I think it's the reductionist nature of these lists that really give overthinkers like me a headache... ...nothing is that cut and dried. [/QUOTE]
