Toon thought

I agree that nobody can read thoughs, apart from taking hints from face expressions (which is why some players use the description of their facial expressions as a way of commenting), so I'm not at par with Zhoi on this. But the thoughts as such I don't see OOC at all, as long as they refer in an IC way to surrounding events. In fact, they don't make the slightest bit of sense if presented in an IC way, but supposed to be OOC. If things like this would be seen as common, we can already expect in the near future ongoing "IC OOC thought fights", which are of pretty limited fun if taking over the proceedings, and they may very easily take the shape of harassment of sorts, nothing less.

Regarding the situation as it happened: You didn't make a funny OOC side comment - in fact, they weren't funny at all, nor did they give the impression to be intended as funny - but commented quite precisely on the scene and the participating character/mentioned characters. On the worth of a discussion, some "thought comments" tend to be polemic and often used to weaken IC arguments in a way to make sure that there's very limited chance for a sensible response to undo the intended effect, and to be honest: the way you used them (not just one, but at least three in a row) were nothing else but just that.
