Default Do we get offended to easily?

I think so.

Just something I've been noticing bout the forums lately, we all see the pics of everyone elses kills and what-not, and the responses are always the same "nice buck", "great going" etc. I think its great that everyone is so supportive of each other and am not intending this to be a negative thread, but I know in my hunting camps a lot of harassment is thrown around in a joking manner about the animals other members kill. I think this can be healthy and build comradery, we see it between some more veteran members of the forums, and thats probably the way it should be.

For instance someone in our camp killed a 135# bear the same day another guy killed a 400# bear. He woke up the next morning w/ a baby rattle for a stabilizer. We all get a good laugh outta it, including him. I guess its just what I've come to expect, and enjoy, even if its directed towards me...

So i guess im saying dont be afraid to spice things up, just make sure its clearly a joke, a lot of interpretation can be lost over the net...And dont go getting your shorts in a bunch when it happens...

Any thoughts or opinions or do i need to get back on my happy pills??
