Hi Ilija,
I understand that emotion and expression don't convey well through text, but I
will assure you that my response to Rob was in no part related to "anger".
I also understand that sarcasm doesn't come naturally to some, and it's not at
all recognised by some languages/cultures, so my bad for not specifically
pointing out that I was being sarcastic there. However I would be very
surprised if any English speaker who understands the concept of sarcasm,
doesn't realise/recognise "I didn't mean X as a challenge" is a *very* common
sarcastic response.
Cheers
Stephen
