Ron: I did not use those symbols to indicate joking or jest as they would obviously give the joke/s away! The fun of the practical joke is seeing what effects they have on the targeted person! And, you make the perfect subject due to your chronic seriousness, and focus on imagined slights and wrongnesses in others' communications to and about you.
E.g., my favorite program was "The Sunshine
Boys"...and Candid Camera....the fun from those was creating the unexpected, and watching for the results!
I care not if the viewing masses find humor in my posts! My amusement comes from my own creativity-if i find them laughable, regardless if the senario is witty, clever, or just absurd!
I laughed my ass off at the 'Ron at Grand Lake' one and the 'Ron Response' one! That was my satisfaction, alone! My equivalent of the artist who paints and appreciates his own creation, with disregard for the negative or positive responses from those he allows to view his creation. Your reaction simply heightened my pleasure, seeing you, yet again, snagged by your non-perception of the carefully-crafted 'trap' I set for you, knowing in advance that you would automatically put the most negative self-spin on them, without taking the time to apply perception and reasoning to see any hidden game-plan, much less disguised humor or practical joking lurking below the obvious surface!
Think of the typical Candid Camera senario of the target looking down and finding a plastic worm in his soup!
Apologize for what? You now gotta be joking! Finally an attempt at humor from you! Rather than that, I will simply thank you for the laughs you inadvertantly provided me.
For what....
Because you were and always are too serious to see the joke?
Because you always look for deeper, darker messages and miss the obvious (however subtle)?
Because you are so sensitive to a perceived slight?
You are the one owing an apology- as I just explained, my intent was to create humor, yours to the contrary, often contained negative and quite hostile intent, to the point of attempting to get me cancelled.
I shall not ask for your apology, as I know you find it so very, very difficult, more likely an impossibility at this late stage, to admit and acknowledge when you were and are wrong, and act or acted inappropriately.
Instead, I will just suggest to lighten up, and work on developing/exhibiting here some humor!
You don't have very long left before finding any humor in anything will be virtually impossible, and the environment for levity will be gone for a long, long time. |
