Again, for clarification, does this mean that all I have to do when I flame someone in the Smokey Backroom is put a little smiley face at the end and then claim at some later point that I was joking and I'm good to go?
BigMack's post that claimed he was joking came exactly 59 minutes and 53 seconds after the initial flame. Is 1 hour the limit to claim it is a joke?

Every post is judged, insofar as is humanly possible, on its own merits. I'm not about to make a ruling on some future possibility.
IIRC, between the time the post in question here was made, and the time I was made aware of it, the thread had been moved from the Religion Forum to The Smokey Backroom. Further, a lot happened on this thread which made this particular post fairly mild in comparison.
Instead of looking for ways to skate close to the line, why not try to live within the rules?
