Anyone else have a problem with these jokey things? (also whenever i try to joke around... They go wrong.)

I find myself on both sides of this problem. People will be joking with me and I'll think they're serious, and I'll be joking and someone will mistake me for being serious. Tone is nearly impossible to figure out on the internet, that's why there's nothing wrong with asking for clarification. I used to post in a different text color back in 08 so people knew when I was joking. I'm wondering if I should bring that back?
Galuf I see what you mean, I find it difficult to read a joke if its aggressive. Some people just say what's in their head without realising other people might think differently. Im careful with what I say, its what I get for having bucket loads of empathy.

Ayen I agree with Fynn on the issue of you highlighting your jokes. I get them, and so do some others on here.
