That's another hurdle. Cultural differences. On a few occasions, I've written something ridiculous, while in character yet, and somehow, some guy, from wherever, read the entire thing with a serious tone of voice in their head. Then I get a comment. If I did some self-deprecating stuff, they're telling me not to worry and that everything will be okay. LOL! I have to say, it's just a joke, it's all bullshit, meant to make people laugh. Then I get, "Why would make fun of yourself?"
There are also quite a few posts where the build up lasts forever, and the post sounds serious. People stop reading before they get to the end, and leave a comment. The comment doesn't make sense, they clearly missed the whole point of the post was to tell a joke at the end... way over their heads. Finding those who pay attention can be tough as well.
Yeah, it's hard to understand you sometimes. That's what interaction for getting to know each other is all about.
The other thing is cheating, haha!
