    It was the actual author, who got annoyed that people couldn’t recognise satire. Not much different from today, in other words 😂

      Hehe. Thanks for sharing that.

      In fairness, there are a LOT of kinds of people in the world - e.g. I would have thought that someone advocating to block access to medically necessary abortions would surely have been satire but… nope.

      As with any form of message passing, the meaning depends on both the sender and the recipient - I would argue far more so the former, but some extremely selfish people would just as vehemently argue that the latter is all that matters to them.🤷
