That's certainly your prerogative, but I have to wonder why? Do you have something against humor? Must every discussion be nothing but dead serious utterances of grave import? Some "funny" comments are certainly childish or base, but quite a lot of them are quite clever and they add a little fun to the atmosphere of the conversation(s).
