No angry responses? No solemn denunciations?

Drat. Either I made my post too obviously humorous, or else you people are getting wise to my sense of humour.

Here's my solemn denunciation: stop trolling.

What?

Can you explain how you read all that into my sentence? Because I honestly have no clue what you are talking about.

I read your post and as always when someone makes such claims, there is a reason for why they feel they have to make the claim. FSTDT happens to be a great source for commentary made by fundamentalists and others with extreme ideas and when you do not know a person, a good way to find out if their claims have any merit at all, is to do a quick search on their nickname or name. Are you trying to tell me that those posts were not made by you and that what you wrote does not reflect your ideas and opinions? If that is the case, how can we take what you write here seriously?

I'm just trying to build a foundation upon which I can evaluate someones posts. If the picture painted by FSTDT is wrong, I'd like you to clarify and explain why you come across differently in those quotes. I can't take you seriously after I have read those comments by you which I found on FSTDT.

I gathered that from your comment on my post.

All the best,

Now explain WHY.
I have no idea how you managed to concoct the comment you made based on a single sentence I wrote, please explain how you managed this feat.

There are some people who consider themselves a cut above the rest and of much higher wisdom and intelligence. They make nasty comments or snide remarks which they clothe in so-called "humor"
The humor isn't always obvious but they can always retreat to claims of humor etc to escape when challenged and then almost get another one in by claiming that the offended person is not able to see their humor

These people are really the lowest of the lowest but they don't know it. Most of them that I have run into are christians who are helped along in their delusion by their deluded idea that they are one of the "chosen" ones that are off to "heaven" soon while the rest have rejected such an idea and are off to "hell" soon.

The best way to deal with them is to humor them and play little games - if you can be bothered.
