ProgMetaller wants to set things straight to all

it's also normal for musicians to just run out of steam and ideas as time goes on unless they're really really good.

Granted, it does take a while on the forum to truly get a "feel" for certain people.  I know Sheavy and knew he wouldn't really say that, so I knew it was a joke.  So it's a little harder when you're new.  Maybe it's not as obvious as I said after all.  In your example, though, I'm pretty sure everyone there saw the joke.

I remember the incident Dayvenkirq is referring to.  In the context of the thread, Sheavy's "f&%k you" was very funny and it was obvious to all who were following the thread.  The admin just happened to pass through and saw it (or maybe it was reported? hmm), and dutifully took action.  But it was all cleared up in a matter of minutes.  I think it's pretty clear most of the time when it's meant as a joke.

I got a headache I'd call it an "over-the-top reaction meant to be taken as a joke".  Perhaps we should start a "Humour Archives" and get these genres nailed down?

Naturally, I chuckled and wrote that he pretty much made my day. Then an admin or a collab asked Sheavy to apologize to me or something, but Sheavy noted that I got his humor. Oh, lord ... what does it take to get American sarcasm.
