Thanks for a reasonable post for a change, Stevie.
You had more problems than most, I think, discerning when Robin was being
ironic. I never did; it was always obvious to me.
Robin's an original. You have to be open and really tune in to get a clear
perspective on him. He was never into s

You mean the same question you put to most everyone you disagree with as to
whether they would challenge Barry or Curtis if they wrote a post you found
offensive? You mean your usual loaded question?

No, you didn't respond to it. The quote with the question is below; just scroll

felt like using irony, he used irony. When he didn't, he didn't. The majority

There was no particular context for our irony duel, either. He just felt like

But in actuality Robin's whole pattern of writing was to alternate between his
supposed irony and seriousness. This example was just one example of it. And
of course it is taken out of context of all that preceded it. But taking
things out of context and parsing is just your usual method of ob

This is the question I was responding to--I accidentally deleted it:
Why was it that we shouldn't consider you a cult, again? :-)
Um, because three friends who email each other and share observations

I'll bet you've done that yourself, turkeyb. I seem to recall a little private

You know, Stevie-boy, I kinda doubt anyone who reads the two posts I just put
up from Robin's and my "irony duel" is likely to take your claim that we were
trying to "fool people" terribly seriously. Even Barry is smarter than to go
along with that (although he may now, but then he'll look just

You know, the interesting thing is, I don't recall Barry making any comments
about Robin's and my "irony duel." One would think he'd have jumped on it if it
gave him an opportunity to make trouble between me and Robin, or even to say
disparaging things about the humor. (If you or anyone else rem

That, lovely lady, is what we call in the trade a "spin". So aside from the
persistent claims of your unflinching honesty and truthfulness, you are
undermining it here, as you are wont to do on a regular basis.

Boy, have you missed the boat. If we had intended to "fool people," we would
have done the whole thing entirely differently. The fun was in putting on an
act, an over-the-top role-playing improvisation, for others to enjoy--which
most people did. Only a few real knuckleheads were unable to recog
