It's one thing making tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic, sardonical or satirical comments on the state of affairs and events.
Another thing entirely to replicate it and replay it out.
All your honest hard work to get the IT parts right which even caused you to post your first ever :o that I can recall.

His intention is not to silence but to tweak the behavior of members here so that the more serious discussions are not destroyed by inane banter.
