"It might help, John, if you also looked up "context".

You know my friend, posting on the internet is not like having a conversation. Context is difficult, especially when writing for others a one sentence post. One cannot 'hear' your tone of voice; one cannot see the twinkle in your baby blues that you're having your way with them; nor can one see your hooded eyes showing anger or contempt. And one cannot see your sneer or subtle smile as you write. The use of emoticons usually mean the opposite of what they seem to imply, in my expeerience.

However, you have admitted to the use of irony and sarcasm, and that now becomes my default reading of your posts. It is up to you to convince me otherwise.
