Eh.. It has its place (especially if dude is going to set me up like that), and can be ignored if it's not your cup of tea.
Prurient banter has been a part of online forums since BBS message boards. It's how most people I know communicate IRL and online: Bullshit, bullshit, nugget of wisdom, picture of cat.
Not everything needs to be THUPER THERIAL, but it can be (and has frequently been) overdone because a lot of people don't realize that self-censorship is a hammer to be swung heavily.
