Re: So What's Wrong With Sustained Irony?
I think it is a sad day for this forum when such a time honored expression of talent is subject to censorship.
I agree, Angla. I see no reason that thread should have been closed. And I certainly see no reason to admonish Jar like that.
Have to agree with all this - I thought it was an excellent post, that gave me a good hour's worth of thoughtful musings, not to mention the delightful first minute of - OMG, really, no way, wow, etc, etc.
Yours, gullible Limey

Finally...
This is the perfect reponse. As Jar correctly pointed out, all that bullshit about incestuous rape fantasies makes you look like an ass (and worse) and completely obfuscates the point you are trying to make. But this post, made in exasperation to AdminMoose, cuts to the chase and lays NJ's implicit bigotry on the line for all to see.
I will never claim to be completely free of socially instilled homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. Reading NJ's posts together with well constructed criticisms, such as your latest post here, helps with my own self-examination. Thus I would never call for the censoring of such subjects.
