scyguy,
Seems to me that you are taking the "banter" a bit too seriously.
Are you too sensitive? Maybe.
Is there anything wrong with that? Not necessarily.
Will others exploit your sensitivity? Most definitely.
Is there anything wrong with that? Not necessarily.
Is there anything you can learn from the above? That's up to you.
I would suggest trading a few barbs; try it, you might like it...just don't be malicious, and if you are perceived as being malicious, apologize immediately.
FWIW, I get teary-eyed at "warm-hearted" movies and outstanding musical performances...I also cuss like a sailor (but not at musical performances, ball-games, or in civilized debates...my cussing is generally limited to business dealings [I work in commercial construction]).
