Subject: RE: BS: Ode to Sir jOhn and His Lost Thread
Well, I'm still looking for a decent rhyme for "doggerel." Beardedbruce did pretty well, I admit...
I have to stand up for John, because I believe in him, and I like him a lot. John told me his post was an attempt at irony, to try to show the folly of racism. When I attempt irony, I usually fall flat on my face. I do about the same when I try to tell a joke. So, I think that the thread was a failed attempt at irony, not real racism. I think John would agree with that.
