If you thought Chris' comment was a threat, you need to see a doctor.

Are we having a bad day? Or can we simply not tell a flippant comment meant humorously from a threat?

I abjectly apologize for making the grevious error of believing that you had some miniscule modicum of a sense of humor. I now realize how wrong I was to make that assumption, and how distraught you must have been at receiving what you apparently deemed to be a legitimate death threat. It was terrible of me to have so misjudged you, and to have thought that you could understand the meaning of a message that was written at more than a 2nd grade reading level. I will be sure not to make such an error again. And I hope that the thread moderator here will make totally clear that any attempt to post to you with any sort of humor is a blatant violation of your right not to be harassed by unwanted levity. Again, I extend my deepest, deepest apologies for my treatment of you in the face of your disability. And my most earnest sympathy to you for the terrible necessity of living your entire life without any ability whatsoever to comprehend humor. While humorouslessness is not recognized as one of the disabilities protected by our Constitutional rights, given the extreme gravity of the condition it certainly should be, and I will earnestly support any efforts you may choose to make to enact into law an absolute prohibition against inflictiong humor on those suffering from that horrible malady so that you will never again have to suffer an attack by a humorist.
