So was mine ("totally a joke") -- just a bit more historical and obscure. Also, I have longstanding FRiendships with all three parties, and thought they would enjoy some "insider humor".
As I mentioned in a FReepmail exchange with another FReeQ:

LOL! I was just playing a paraphrased variation on the classic [Lloyd] Bentsen X [Dan] Quayle line:
“I knew Jack Kennedy — and, you, Senator, are no Jack Kennedy.”
IOW,...
“I know Swordmaker — and, you, Quix, are no Swordmaker!”
Jes’ havin’ a bit o’ fun... ‘-)

Perhaps we -- after ten days of "Q deprivation" -- all are a bit frayed, with nerve ends exposed -- and are (temporarily) more liable to take offense at things said in jest (especially when we don't immediately comprehend the humor in them).
I expect that -- as we get more Qcrumbs pointing us toward DScritters to find dirt on -- we'll all return to "beating on the enemy ...instead of each other"...
I certainly hope so! :-)
FRegards all around,
