No, I'm fine with puns if they're good and I think they have their place. The problem was that people would make dumb puns and jokes to karma farm instead of engaging in what could have been an interesting conversation in a lot of circumstances.
Haha, you're good, mate. I don't actually hate puns, i just found them to be annoying when I was trying to ask questions and people would make huge threads of puns instead of contributing to the conversation. I wouldn't get annoyed with a pun centred magazine, because that's what the magazine is about
