It has been said that in humor is the greatest truth.

Actually, frankly, at the time, given the way she had been posting for a year or two, it wasn't in the least clear whether she was being funny or not. I know you don't get that from a few comments, and maybe she did think they were funny, but I'm not sure the liberal establishment accepts that defense. It certainly doesn't in the hostile workplace environment context -- tell sexist jokes and no matter how funny you think you're being, the court will find that you were engaged in sexual discrimination.

Shall we begin
quoting your various humorous posts as serious conversation?


You're welcome to. Just make sure that where there is a LOL or <g> or smiley face or something in my post that you include that. If I'm being funny, I try to make that very clear. I'm sure I miss on occasion. But if you follow through the set of posts I put up, there's not a single LOL of <g> or anything inthem to indicate she was just kidding. And they were perfectly in line with the persona she was presenting at the time.
