I am part of the "context is everything" crowd. jk can be used to mean what it means at face value. To let someone know what they said was just a joke. Other times people are being dicks, and they use jk to evade criticism for their dickish remarks.
I'm also in the "Welcome back, BQ" camp. Nice to see a post from you.
