It might have been a joke, but it was still in bad taste.  I mean,
if I wrote to you (if you're married), and said that your wife is ugly,
and then put a nice :-) after it, wouldn't you still get upset?  I guess
I don't understand why - it was a joke.  You know humor.  :P

Same thing with the emacs <STUPID_JOKE>.  Yeah, we know it was
a joke, but it certainly isn't funny (and I'm not an emacs fan, either), and
it really doesn't add anything to the discussion.

Just my two cents!

Good point. And right on the money.

Very childish I admit.

I guess some good can come of it. But perhaps I should stick a bunch of
obligatory :-) in there so people know when I am just poking fun. Does anyone
think I truly believe that the RedHat supervisors use whips? c'mon! It was a
joke. You know humor.
