This kind of nasty overreaction suggests that some SF fans might want to abandon their favorite genre occasionally to work on polite social interaction with other human beings. |
My comments were just as much of a joke as yours was.
For the record, I do actually believe we were both joking.
I was attempting to demonstrate that worst comes to worst, no one actually has to take those jokes seriously.
That being said,
I will admit to fighting poor jokes by making poor jokes back. If you don't like it, then don't throw the first punch.
