Yes I assumed this, and I can understand where the sentiment is coming from. But if it's a comment that is still imparting an opinion/viewpoint, i.e., it is actually saying something, then I think a little editorial freedom in terms of the commenter's on-topic humour should not be seen as dragging the site down towards digg/reddit etc.
I actually wouldn't have bothered even replying to the guys comment except that this is an issue that has irked me about this site for a while. Humour - by and large and in the right proportion - gratifies my (and I think many people's) "intellectual curiosity". Some here should take a chill pill when it comes to being the humour police.
I'm not sure. Are you trying to say that your original comment was somewhat tounge-in-cheek and I misunderstood because of my lack of familiarity with your "OoO" emoticon? If so, then yes it is better, thank you. If not, then no it isn't.
Your comment stated that you would have felt better if the Java installer had said something different, in particular less; so I said the same thing about your comment. It was sort of an ill conceived parody, you understand. In conjunction with feigned shock (the "OoO,") at your apparent linguasexuality, I thought it was pretty funny. Seems I was wrong, or just too vague.
