Chivalry, and friendly fire?
Facetiousness can be difficult to convey in a forum setting such as here, but metmom and Elsie are no strangers to one another, and neither of them is what anyone could honestly call "stupid".
Meaning -- metmom, as likely as not generally understands Elsie well enough, and that he was not in some way challenging her, or something which she had said, but instead was supportive of of her, albeit in indirect way.
Are you now trying to flip things the other way around? phfft. You ain't Mork. give it up, it ain't gonna' fly (and it's not funny).
I generally understand Elsie (he can be rather perceptive of what's really going on) for although he can be somewhat cryptic, or else obscure in his expressions (and mocking ridicule) he usually speaks to the wider contexts of the discussions, as for the various positions and statements which people here make.
Your own initial question was answered, even coming as it was from aspect of fallacious assumption, yet to one of those (at least) posed to yourself, there was no reply, which renders your own initial charge against metmom of -- her name being irony, far from chivalrous, and even (at this point) possibly needing some retraction, or apology, since she was proved well enough correct.
The one we know of around here as "metmom" has replied to, quite literally --- thousands of questions over the years, which again renders any accusation or charge laid against herself for bearing some form of "irony" (in not doing that which she would ask of others) to be, for the far greater part --- unfounded, for she has long been one whom would take the time to address questions as those surface, dealing with those one-by-one, even though those same coming to her from [Roman] Catholics are often repetitious, the makings of them having been dealt with, time and again.
In other words, please stop playing games with us here. We've (most of us) have seen it all before. The only usefulness that 'game playing' and pettiness has in light of what is talked about on the 'religion forum' of FR, is to derail or otherwise preclude what difficult-to-obtain clarity that there is, or else smother that (when it does present itself) with superfluous distraction, and noise.
Well, thank you, kind sir. (er, I presume...)
