Guess what, it's hard to tell tone through text. That sounds more like an obvious joke than just plain "Ew bard" - which frankly doesn't sound like a joke at all on it's own.

Context. You don't know these people, if it's a friend they're obviously going to know you're joking, but a random stanger? ESPECIALLY when brds and mchs are getting kicked simply for playing the job they like.

Maybe they had a bad day or had already been kicked from a party once. No need for "jokes" that probably no one except you is going to find funny.
