Liz,
Are you describing YOUR inability to understand MY satirical
comment perchance? I even included a smiley to indicate that which
you didn't...
Lighten up and smile!

You cannot insult someone and ask him or her to smile.
It's a technique of the bully. Make fun of someone, then ask them
why they aren't laughing.
I agree, it is a bullying technic.
But in the case of Edgar, I don't think he is purposefully bullying.
He just seem unaware of what it means to confront his ideas with others.
However I was smiling, actually, after reading that, because Edgar's
heavy-handed attempt at retaliatory humour, together with the way he
clearly doesn't understand what satire is, were in fact laughable.
(But I didn't laugh too much, because I was at work at the time :)
Yeah, ... but it is also a bit sad.
Bruno
