Thread Name: Full Frontal Irony. Dangerous at times?
Subject: RE: Full Frontal Irony. Dangerous at times?
Really! Hmmmph! I'm highly offended that anyone would dare use irony on the internet, let alone humour in general. One should always be perfectly understandable, because heaven knows it's not the reader's responsibility to try to understand what they read!

If you just look at what could happen when you just make a simple joke, you can see how dangerous irony can be. Suppose someone doesn't think it's funny? We could wind up with a terrible argument about it. Suppose they simply don't understand it? This would make them feel left out. I really think all humour should be banned - irony, sarcasm, knock-knock jokes... even quotes from Dan Quayle.

Well, that's all I have for the moment. I'm sure you will all realise I'm right and STOP THE MADNESS!!!
