Does no one here except Bill D understand the meaning of "irony"?

Apparently not. I was constantly misunderstood when I assumed irony was obvious without being labeled. Now I see that labeling it doesn't work either.

If it makes you feel better, Shimrod, I was defending you.

I am speechless (spelled as Popeye would spell it) at GfS's inability to see (even with the "irony" label) that I was using his own form of reasoning in a way to suggest how absurd it is. Calling names (ridicule) shouldn't change anybody's mind, should it?

Then he tells me I made a "sharp observation."

Jeez.
