At least any future tennis discussion can take place in Ron's thread.

Bill Carson supports a tragically inept "soccer" team, so I tend to handle Our Mr. Carson with kid gloves. If one person gets the joke, that's enough for me, and considering how humor is (mostly) frowned upon at this forum, that's all I need. Problem was, i made a semi- serious post on the same theme just before you so.... It didn't seem like parody!

THE SOLIUM MISINTERPRETATION

Don't feel bad, Solium. Irony, satire, or parodies are hard to spot when all we have is the written word. We miss the tone and the emphasis of live voices. Just look how the words "Shut Up" have changed due to voice usage. On one hand, those two words can be insulting because people are telling other people to stop talking or to stop expressing opinions. On the other hand, those two words can mean something like, "You must be kidding. You're telling me I won the lottery? Seriously? How wonderful." That is why I think when posting the use of the icons is important. At times, so is the use of hyperbole. I know I've thought people were serious and angry when they were just teasing. Hard to tell with just the written word. Shuuuuttttttt uuuuuppppppp huey!!!
