| How do you deal with joining in with forum in-jokes and just generally fitting in with a forum sense of humour? I seem to be just doing the same kind of joking around that everyone else does and everyone has weird reactions when I just repeat the stuff everyone else does. It sort of makes me feel do... |

more B's means Auditory
more C's means Kinesthetic |
