I don't think the person you were responding to in your post above was laughing.

The poster was most certainly guilty of meeting this definition of the word. My point was both correct and succinct.

rid·i·cule
ˈridiˌkyo͞ol/
noun
noun: ridicule

1. the subjection of someone or something to contemptuous and dismissive language or behavior.
