Hephaestos said: oh and HoS Gow FoS links FoS prof I didn't read that townie comment as sarcastic, and I find GoW's retreat right after links' blunder to be very suspicious and his summary to be a bit too devoid of personal input. I added prof to the mix because he first warned links before attacking, something he seldom does, then he attacked on the "we" word and provided the "sarcastic" excuse at the same time... I can see this as a bailout while attacking on points that won't stand. As a matter of fact, I find prof's attacks unusually weak so far. |
Apparently you aren't the only one. GOW and Wonk both thought that it was a genuine opinion. Sarcasm doesn't translate well on the internet.
Can you explain how my comment not being sarcastic would lead to GOW retreating?
Sarcasm generally isn't looked at as a positive quality, so I'm not sure why you think prof would offer that as an excuse. I agree his attacks on me were relatively weak, but it's what I'd expect of prof from my limited experiences. I see that as a confused townie just trying to gauge the reaction/non-reaction before going full force. I'm not sure of prof's alignment myself, but the interaction hasn't raised any scumflags for me.
