but please advise why the satirizing of Hawking's lying claims is impermissible.

If you can't see the difference between what you said and what Hawking's said, I'd be more than happy to give you some time off to think about it.

Thanks,

You make a good point.

There is a profound difference: I was obviously making a joke, and Hawking's slander was deadly serious.
