Threatening over forums is weak. What you see are mere pixels representing someone on the other end of the spectrum, for better or for worse, and being offended by said mere pixels is a waste of time and energy. If you take this kind of offense at something as trivial as a joke over the internet, then you're in for a world of hurt. You need to learn to go with the flow, roll with the punches, and take it all in stride, to beat a few clichés to death

Unless you know for sure that you are indeed speaking for others, it's never a good idea to speak for everyone under any circumstance, especially when you've been here for such a short period of time and probably haven't had the chance to get to know everyone.

Sounds as though the "people" you speak of here would be "you", seeing as how one other person has yet to speak up and show offense towards what R_T has said. Of course, they could be holding back, but people here tend to be civil, and, as mentioned, roll with the punches, so I doubt many others (if any) took serious offense.
Speaking for others aside, here's a rule of thumb: never take anything R_T says offhand seriously.

This is a community, not your personal place to vent your problems in life. There's a time and a place for everything, and this is not the time nor place for rants such as that.
Ideally, you will in time learn to not take offense to things as trivial as a joke on the internet. Otherwise, to reiterate, you will be in for a world of hurt.

Capital letters, Commas, Paragraphs, Punctuation.

Those five attributes plus wisdom and guile are the key to winning the internets.
"Winning the internets", that's a good one
But yeah, speaking in a grammatically correct manner (and not to mention spelling!) puts you in a better light.
