It's not the game we take too seriously. It's the community of respect that we have made here for the most part that we take seriously; and in the larger picture the communtiy of respect that all human beings should have for each other. That is worth taking seriously.
You came in here as a brand new member of GTP and made posts attacking the community in general and at least one member in particular, which was bad enough. But you also did so with a religious/racist comment that was 1) totally irrelevant, and 2) unacceptable under any circumstances. That is something to be taken seriously and you would be well advised to reconsider that kind of behaviour. (For anyone interested in the comment, I did delete the original post from #19 as a warning, but I deliberately left several quoted occurances later in the thread.) I am far from PC, but some things are just plain unacceptable, and racism is one of them. In addition, it clearly violates the acceptable use policy, and it shows great disrespect for the person who made those rules and who generously provides this forum free of charge. Having chosen to make an entrance like that, you should not be surprised to find that no one is eager to welcome you.
You say that people here take everything too seriously. Wrong-o, chappy. We take important things seriously enough. If you want a model of someone with an appropriate 'sense of humor', look at ving. Out of thousands of post he makes, almost none are serious - but he is human enough to understand that some things are out of bounds, no matter how much you try to pretend you're joking. I can't imagine him making a post like yours, yet in your short career you have managed to be offensive in nearly every post.
