Well TtR...

We do it (The Padded Zingers Humour) because we think it's funny... we get a lot of laughs out of it... No one gets hurt by it... And well, I guess likely we're unconcerned what the outside observer thinks...

" is distructive to others"

How is it destructive to others? (not snide... a legitimate question... I'm trying to grock where yer coming from...)

"By my way of thinking, only the supportive remark, the confidence instilling positivity"

So what you want to be told all the time is "That's nice, dear"???? Better only talk to your mom then, cause she's likely the only one who's gonna do it... I mean, I guess it'a a fair enough ideal to aim for, but who lives in an ideal? Doesn't it mater more, when push comes to shove, the support you get from the people closest to you? What matter then the derision of strangers?
