I watched John Cleese recently being interviewed. Not only hilarious but still very sharp intellectually.
The topic got on to banter and communication in general.
He said there are 2 types of teasing or banter. playful and mean-spirited.
Sometimes its hard to tell the difference though. A couple of years ago i was on another forum and one guy started following me around the message board. I thought he was trying to harass me but he insisted it was only banter.
I can be overly touchy but on the other hand sometimes Im right. Some people see you as fair game and targetting you becomes their new hobby. To cure their boredom perhaps?
