MOD HAT ON:

Let's keep it civil chaps.

For future reference if attempting satirical humour, as we have no smiley for satire, it may be better to make it clear(er). Or stick to quoting material from known satirical sources

Exactly, which was exactly my point that the 'joke' was already done. It was done in a relevant manner...

@Toko Black nothing to do with anything else you are trying to bring into this and deflecting from what was really going on. It was bad taste, in accurate, and represented like it was part of the text in the article and not like it was written by yourself.

Well I found it funny, I did stop short of indepth analysis though, and incredibly obvious that it was a joke. I can't see how it could have been any clearer, short of a headline warning about a joke incoming.
It's a sad indictment of this sub forum that some would rather start an argument than take a joke at face value.

Why not send it to Margot James then; I'm sure she would bust a rib or two....Or perhaps she would just sue you for defamation. I'm sure that would tickle you enormously.

Offence by proxy, love it

Jezza99

I take no offence at it, but if someone deliberately misquoted me in a offensive manner, then yes I would take umbrage.

IronGiant

An argument you are taking part in

rancidpunk

Only because people go out of their way to take umbrage at what I said, incredibly cryptically in one case, which was completely inoffensive. I really don't see why I should stop contributing everytime certain people take issue with completely normal discussion.
Treat the cause, not the symptom?

IronGiant

OK: in which case, sorry Toko, you are banned...
