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
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.
And then, (an this really is hilarious), you attempt to put the blame on ME,

The spin, I fear, is all in your head, Stevie-boy. I think I'll put up some
excerpts to show those who never saw or don't remember the exchange how idiotic
it is to think we were trying to fool people.

which you trick the people, is not something really to be proud of.

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
I totally agree with you. It's an astute observation.

you're going to have to find another way to vent your hostility.

Sure Judy. Just keep telling yourself that. You'll be fine.

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 as

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

Actually Ann
This is the question I was responding to--I accidentally deleted it:

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

In actuality, he didn't alternate. There was no particular pattern. When he
felt like using irony, he used irony. When he didn't, he didn't. The majority
of his posts weren't ironic at all.
There was no particular context for our irony duel, either. He just felt like
having fun that day
I thought I responded to whatever quote you posted. Maybe you didn't like my
reply. But going by past history with you, I don't think its worth going back

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
