Hi! I'm sorry if you don't get that some people hide behind humor if they are shy. Please try to understand it's difficult for some people to accept victory and express themselves

No need to be sorry, I just don't understand how saying a simple "thank you" is something that even a shy person cannot Type. But thanks for entering, best of success on Steemit.

Just wanted to clear the air, I made a haiku (spent time on it)as an extension of the winning one as a mark of gratitude, but having read that I can see how it could be perceived in bad taste by someone who doesn't know me. I'm truly thankful to you for running a contest, I know it's difficult, having run 2 on my own.

I highly appreciate your explanation. Thank you very much for clearing the air. Yes, running a contest is not easy at all, I also judge officially for the Steemit Open Mic Contest hosted by @luzcypher and we go through nearly 500 entries, and @luzcypher does a great amount of work to have reached his 70th week of hosting, I don't know how he manages, but it is worth every moment because giving back is a great thing for our community. Glad to know you understand, and thanks again for your thanks. Much appreciated. I too have a sense of humour don't worry.
