I somewhat agree with this, but I had a much more casual interpretation in mind. The examples of jewish humour I’ve seen have all been quite witty, so they don’t really count as “just laughing at the subject”.
Just a data point: Your tone instinctively feels confrontational, and originally demotivated me from replying. Might be what turns off other people too. Is this intentional?
Somewhat. The point is not to demotivate or turn off other people, the point is to liven up the exchange, as well as provide some entertainment and motivation. I am not averse to poking people with sharp pointy objects :-D but I don’t object to being poked myself.

Ok, good to know. Livening things up is good. It’s funny how a simple acknowledgement can shift your view of a user agent sailing in bitspace.
You’d make a good surgeon. Just remember keep those objects sharp.
