Bluesacs,
From Wiki - The universal decided in all Internet disagreements.Schadenfreude is pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others. This German word is used as a loanword in English and sometimes in other languages.
The last sentence explains why you have used a clearly German word on an English site and everyone (not everyone can speak or read German) has understood it. Therefore LiT was right, completely
Now explain to me where I have indicated pleasure from his misfortune. In my second post I clearly indicated that I'm glad he wasn't hurt.
What I said was that I had no sympathy for him because he caused the accident.
Sympathy and Pleasure are two completely different things.
I'll post part of my second post for clarity sake:I'm glad the cyclist wasn't hurt but what he did was not only a danger to himself but to others. It's the latter part of the sentence that makes me have a lack of sympathy.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

Why?
I enjoy watching good friends fall off small ladders.
As soon as "You've been framed" does box sets I'll be front of the queue at HMV.
If you draught / RLJ and stack it without hurting anyone I'll be the first to laugh at you.
Hurt yourself then fine I'll stifle my giggles - hurt someone else and I'll think about giving you a shoeing.Fixed gear for wet weather / hairy roadie for posing in the sun.

Maybe, but the lack of a smiley or winky indicates trolling to me. If it was intended as humour or sarcasm, that's best indicated since it's so easy to miss - smilies emerged for a reason, after all. Besides, it's very easy to troll and then claim it was a joke in retrospect if no one bites or laughs.0 -
Also,
How very dare you accuse me of laughing at someone elses misfortune.
FFS what's next?

How could she - and to give it a pair of specs first is unforgivable.

Ah but because it is a loanword then it does not have to used in it's exact meaning in english. Its crude usage has come to mean taking joy in the misfortune of others and that was the op's use of it. Poetic justice would cover the "situation" but this was definetely a case that the op was "feeling" so schadenfreude is definetely been used in the right context. LiT yer wrong.+++++++++++++++++++++

"but the lack of a smiley or winky indicates trolling to me."
Mmmm, the trollfinder general has arrived.
Those smiley faces and stuff are the equivalent of holding up cue cards to the audience to tell them to laugh; no thinking involved, should I laugh, is it for real, let's think about this. So i don't usually do that, though I thought Biondino deserved a big smile.0 -

I don't entirely agree. Normally, there are other cues; facial expressions, vocal intonation, etc. which we pick up on in order to determine whether something's intended as a joke or seriously. We don't have any of these in this medium, so smilies serve as a substitution to clarify intent.
I do agree it's possible to find something funny or recognise a joke when it's not delivered with a wink and a smile though; comedians such as Jack Dee perhaps being examples. In that context, however, it's expected to be a joke in the first place.
With something so clearly polarising as red light jumping, I think it makes sense to indicate that a comment is intended as a joke, rather than trolling for a reaction.0 -

Wholly incorrect in my opinion.
Approximately 80% of human communication is non-verbal, and therefore the written word can be easily misinterpreted due to the lack of non-verbal feedback.
Consequently, the addition of the smilies is somewhat necessary to add 'feeling' the words if there is any doubt about their interpretation.
A case in point being the different interpretations placed upon the OPs original post.

I'm going to burst a vein in a moment.
Where the feck in any of my fecking posts have I fecking well indicated getting fecking joy in the fecking misfortune of the fecking cyclist.
In fact f*ck it. He was drafting and attempting to RLJ at a junction, I've seen him do this before. Glad he's OK but serves him right for crashing while doing something so stupidly dangerous that could endanger others.
Had it been serious and he caused himself injury to others in the eyes of the law, regardless of his condition he would be held accountable and likely guity of whatever punishment. So serves him right.
And feck the lot of you who disagree with me, bunch of hoody-huggy-hippies.

Great rant there, and fine usage of the word feck.
P.S. I agree, had someone like this but drafting me once and he called me an a*shole for stopping at a red light so I can see the lack of sympathy for someone not obviously hurt there."This area left purposefully blank"

That's the stuff. Have you ripped your T-Shirt off?
A man has a minor off involving no injury to anyone (including the car it would seem) - that was entirley his own fault and preventable. That's comedy gold
