(Now being investigated by the FBI for hacking.)

So, you were being ironic. Nice. Okay… So, you didn’t really want him to put both cookie and biscuit into his article. That clears everything up.

Oh, wait… no it doesn’t… Nice try, though. If it was all irony, and you didn’t actually want that, care to explain the post that started,

“There are two kinds of websites; universal or local. Universality would be the go, as more people would read what these pages interesting contain.

If this is an American website, then it should openly say so. (Then we would have the opportunity to avoid it.)”

What part of that was a joke or ironic?

See, irony tends to lose its punch when you actually go about defending the thing you are trying to ironically point out. You can’t have it both ways. Either you were being ironic, or you were trying to make your case for the use of British English… Only after I pointed out what a douche you’re being is that douchery supposedly couched in irony… before I pointed that out, you were defending your point on the merits… So, what was the irony of that post?

But, honestly, I don’t really need an answer, because the answer is clear. Even in your explanation that you weren’t bashing America or Americans, you bashed them again. But, that was probably ironic, too.

So, you’re from New Zealand… Good to know you folks have as good a handle on irony as your Canadian brethren in Alanis Morisette… i.e. None at all.

If you read this it should be obvious that, under the definition of irony, that it is an “expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.” It has been known for ages that Americans generally don’t get irony. I.e. http://www.danjacobwallace.com/american-irony/ [Stephen Fry's quote here sums it up nicely!]

The first sentence really says; “biscuits are added to computers”, which we all known is opposite to the reality that “cookies are added to computers” in web browsers and software.

- The “Get with the programme, Americans.” is also ironic, as Americans spell ‘program’ while in British English, it is “programme”. However when referring to software, it is used as the word ‘program’ too! If you got with the program, you would be using cookies!

- Nad lastly “the rest of the world” doesn’t use the word ‘biscuits’ for computers, it uses the word ‘cookie.” Hence it too is ironic!

Seemingly only ‘Guest’ cottoned on to the irony here when he said; “Cookies are disease and danger wrapped in butter and chocolate.”, and another ‘Guest’ said; “You are perhaps overlooking the fact that “biscuit” refers to something distinct and different in the USA.”

Hence my return statement in reply; “Bingo! Got it in one!”

Yet what is so hysterically funny is that Mike wrote about my first post to this story;

That’s SJStar’s first comment on this article… Notice, he doesn’t say, “I wish you would be more inclusive and use both the American term cookie and the international term biscuit.” No, he said that it was biscuits NOT cookies… Not biscuits AND cookies… But, somehow, that comment wasn’t bashing America or Americans or being an ass about it, right?

I clearly wasn’t ‘bashing America” nor being serious about cookies or biscuits at all! It is as I later said; “Biscuits or cookies is not the point here.”

Could someone tell Mike these were plainly ironic statements? (Clearly he is as smart as a soap dish!)

Note: My favourite ironic statement here was; “I presume your spittle is also red, white and blue too.

“Its biscuits, not cookies that you add to computers. Get with the programme, Americans. The rest of the world mostly uses the word biscuits!”

That’s SJStar’s first comment on this article… Notice, he doesn’t say, “I wish you would be more inclusive and use both the American term cookie and the international term biscuit.” No, he said that it was biscuits NOT cookies… Not biscuits AND cookies… But, somehow, that comment wasn’t bashing America or Americans or being an ass about it, right?

He then goes on to say: “As for you persistent “whiners” label, it is wearing a bit thin, being just someone who simply disagrees you. (Someone has to stand up against such bigotry and bias.) Your words here only prove why America has the reputation it has to today with the rest of the world.”

So, he was standing up to my bigotry by commenting on the subject with the first included quotation, BEFORE I ENTERED THE ARTICLE? So, what, he’s a time traveler with knowledge of the future now? Curious and fascinating.

New Zealander writer SJStar has said nothing wrong here whilst this ignorant American Neanderthal f**king prick thinks it is just perfectly OK to trash the rest of the world and thinks threaten others! He plainly acts like an adolescent child. Yet I’d expect Americans, or any where else for that matter, means you should be expectant to accept contrary views, even if you disagree with them. All I see is this Mike dude is acting like a bully. If an Australian and I find his words personally offensive.

I only visit this site rather infrequently, but with this kind of childish behaviour I will not be return – unless you.

Moderator. Please do something about this guy and start moderating these stinking delinquent low-life like this ego driven Mike character.
