Pro-gun rally to be held in Tallahassee

Sarcasm is just lost on you crotchety old guys....

There is a major difference between sarcasm and plainly wrong information, not to mention the whole lack of visible or audible hints of nuance in electronic communications.

On this I must adhere to an old maxim of my clan: "Say what you mean. Mean what you say. And, FUCK 'EM if they can't take a joke.

The problem with what you said was that if that's what you meant, it ain't what you said. I can only go by what you said... not by what you meant. Communication takes two or more people. It's not locked inside one skull and it doesn't get from one to two or more if it isn't said in a comprehensible manner in the first place.

Comprendo?

And, FUCK 'EM if they can't take a joke.

Whoa, whoa whoa, back the wagon up. This is starting to make a little sense.

Schmidity can't take a joke - his avatar - and his fascination of and use of "queer".

Can you explain that statement?
