I just don't choose to be very often) and break this minor genital wart on the penis of blogging down into its component atoms for the sake of clarity and not hurting anyone's feelings more than they actually deserve to be hurt. A few points:<br /><br />1. For my original comment NOT to have been ironic, I would have to be some kind of congenital idiot who was totally incapable of working out what Brad meant by the word 'beard' from the context.<br /><br />2. I am clearly NOT such an idiot, and I think it is (a) stupid, and (b) actually rather rude to assume somebody is an idiot without evidence. 'Anonymous' was guilty of this rudeness. Tsk-tsk.<br /><br />3. It bugs me when people don't sign their comments on the Internet. Don't get me wrong: I wouldn't want people to have to show their full name, address and National Insurance number on their posts, but anonymous commenting, I think, is quite rude as well, so I was feeling ungenerous towards good old 'Anonymous' for that reason. This lead to my response to his comment sounding a little harsher than I perhaps originally intended. Even so, I was only rude via the art of comedy, which is the raison d'etre (or at least part of the raison d'etre) of this site. That deals with my original response to 'Anonymous'. I'm sure he or she is a lovely chap or chappette who just didn't think his comment through properly (rather than somebody who always likes to assume the worst of his fellow human beings and treats them all with a large, soggy dose of patronisation on general principles) and I wish him or her no harm.<br /><br />4. To move on to Brad's reply to my reply: while Brad qualified his statement with 'if I didn't know you personally', he still put himself in the 'automatically assume the original poster is so stupid they can't work out the meaning of a word from the context' camp by saying that if he DIDN'T know better, he would have assumed that to be the case. Naughty, naughty, Brad: you mustn't be so harsh to your fellow carbon-based lifeforms in future.<br /><br />5. To move onto my original reply to Brad's reply (this may be getting confusing, but I'm sure you can follow it if you try... look! I'M being patronising now! It's so easy to slip into, isn't it?): Brad and I have been best friends for a very long time now and it is clearly established that we hate each other. That's just the way it is and Brad and I wouldn't have it any other way. I can understand how this might seem confusing to anybody who doesn't know us personally, but now I've illuminated the issue, it shouldn't cause anybody any further misunderstandings.<br /><br />6. How bored am I that I am bothering to write this? Very.<br /><br />7. A small addendum just for Brad: I hate you.<br /><br />8. I know Rob is on holiday from E14 this week, but just in case he reads this when he gets back and feels left out: Rob, I hate you too. Now get back to work, you CSI-obsessed slacker!<br /><br />9. To sum up: It was all a big misunderstanding brought about by people's general lack of charity towards their fellow humans and I love you all really. Even the ones I hate.<br /><br />10. I don't seem to be capable of being serious even when I try to.
