Too bad there was not one iota of honesty in any of your postings for DayGloRed's humor to be applied to.
You mistake subtle ridicule directed at you for humor shared with you.
While I disagreed with Utilizer's original characterization, my attempt at humor actually was only that.
I've learned through sad experience on internet forums, even on FR at times, that subtle ridicule is often missed. And while I can wield a sledgehammer with the best of 'em, I prefer not to.
In this case, I was aiming for "disagreeing without being disagreeable", something my Mom told me was a Good Thing. Of course she wasn't thinking of kinky sexual references, but the idea is the same...
And it seems that as we proceeded downthread, Utilizer and I found common ground, something I enjoy. So no worries.
