And so once again we come up against the inadequacies of the Internet. An /sarcasm would've helped.

Ah, but are we really talking about the inadequacies of the internet, or merely the inadequacies of you? It wasn't sarcasm anyway -- I was being a smart-ass, and I'm not aware of an HTML tag to stop that....

I'm fully aware of those conflicts and I'm also aware of the foibles of man. This, however, isn't the 16th or 17th Century so causality doesn't, or shouldn't, play.

I suppose I could instead have pointed to anti-Islam (or anti-Catholic, or anti-Mormon, or anti-illegal immigrant) posts right here at FR that fit your description of what you hate.... would that have been more to the point?

My apologies for tweaking your melon.

No worries, I'm just having fun with it.

I'll willingly admit my wrong in not recognizing your post as a quip. Will you admit that you could've made your intent more clear?

If you say so. It looked like sarcasm to me....sarcasm
: a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain
It sounded pretty cutting to me as do your subsequent statements.

...and I'm not aware of an HTML tag to stop that....
Neither am I. Self restraint, however, seems to work at times.
