You add a disclaimer in the title of the thread, and it looks like you still suckered a bunch of people.
There’s not reading the thread, and there’s not reading the title which is on a whole other level.
I have to say, JS is gonna kill one of us one of these days! I have put my foot in it often enough that I had to really begin paying attention into who started the thread.
It’s funny that I can say something like that, and mean it as a complete complement. In this specific context, that usually means the author is attaining his goals! And as I stated above, there been a couple times I’ve begun reading one of these threads and felt my blood pressure rise…
I have had the conversation often enough on these types of threads with the very author that, satire seems to become increasingly difficult to execute. I have always been of the opinion that for satire to function, it must be distinguishable from the truth. The sad thing is, things have seemed to become so outrageous on ongoing basis, that seems like it is impossible to distinguish satire from reality if there aren’t references to things like people eating babies or something like that.
And even then.
But, as the author aptly illustrates… Satire can still be done… :-)
