Does LOL get on other people's tits as much as it does mine?

Some people claim LOL means 'laugh out loud'...ie it's an instruction to the reader. Others think it means 'laughing out loud'...ie it's a statement of what the writer is currently doing.
Whichever of these you go for, it is clearly nonsensical. You can't tell someone to laugh out loud unless you are a bit daft yourself and, even though you laughed out loud when you first saw the funny item now being referred to, it is highly improbable - now that you have got around to writing about it - that you are still doing so.
In whatever circumstances it is used, it is either absurd or untrue. Best avoided, therefore.

LOL is most certainly not an instruction to the recipient! Not ever.
It's an indication that the reader laughed out loud at a particular comment. I am unsure on which planet anyone would conceivably imagine this meant that the writer was still laughing at the time of typing their response. Certainly not one I've ever been on.
Is everyone on Answerbank extremely old or something? I'm astonished at such defensiveness against a few acronyms.
