Thank you. Your praise is much appreciated, and overdue.

If you see that as praise you need to rethink why you come here.

What is overdue is completely different. But I haven't the patience to explain that to you. Nor to I wish to watch you dance around a topic again.

In other words I was being sarcastic. Learn the difference.

SM, there was a time when you were one of the better debators on this site. But it has been months since you did anything but dance around topics, ignore the topic in favor of petty insults, and try to make some point that you caught me lying or being a hypocrite.

This is typical of all that. I did not lie. I was being sarcastic. If you honestly cannot tell that, you are the only one reading it who can't.

That wasn't irony; it was a lie. Learn the difference. :)

The opposite of the literal meaning of the words? That sounds exactly like what I posted.

And this is a perfect example of what I was saying. Rather than discuss the topic, you choose to go after this bullshit in an attempt to discredit or embarrass me. And yet, you fail completely. Not only do you fail, you claim a "zing" as well.

Jeez dude, how about trying to debate or discuss the shit here that matters? You used to be halfway decent at it. Now you are just pitiful.

Yeah, in close contact to other people. Better not drive in a city Southern Man. Else you will feel filthy.

It baffles me, this smoking ban. It originally came from the US.

You'd think, however, with America's attitude to free markets, the prevalent mood would be that if there was a market for smoke-free pubs, or saloons, or whatever you call them on your side of the pond, the market would deliver them.

Where was the gun-toting right when this infringement of capitalist liberties occurred?

Most of us were again' it, but couldn't stop it.

That is probably the best explanation. The politicians took the anti-smoking agenda and ran with it.

As for where "gun-toting right when this infringement of capitalist liberties occurred", that is easy. I disagree with the anti-smoking laws for private businesses, but I am not going to start shooting people over it.

Reread the definitions that you posted and that I posted.

As a matter of fact, take that "zing" you tried to wave at me and put it on yourself.

Sarcasm - or am I going to fast for you?

"Fast" for me? Go right ahead. You might lose some weight.

Why not just ADMIT?

So sarcasm is what? And irony is…… the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.

And you are proving my point over and over. You failed at this and insist on continuing.


I am happy to admit I was being sarcastic.

Hey nimrod, look at the definitons that you posted and then the one I posted.

They fit what I said perfectly. No one on these boards believes that my post was anything but sarcasm.

You are justtrying to find anything you can to try and demean or embarrass me. But you have failed miserably.
