Re: European Breakfast - Feb. 15 (4.00 / 2)

You know, that was self-derision. I figured it was a pretty obvious way to show that I don't take myself too seriously, and am aware of the dangers of pushing a point too far, but it obviouly failed miserably.

In the context of the rest of your comments on this breakfast thread, you'll have to forgive me for not seeing the self-derision.

I am sad to hear this, and, I must say, deeply offended!

This is becoming a meta debate on a meta snark.
When Jérôme says he is deeply offended, you can be sure he is joking... I speak under his control, but when deeply offended, he does not respond at all.

If I ask you what's wrong with it being a meta debate on a meta snark does that become a meta meta debate on a meta snark?
