I gave a couple of reasons why it was reasonable to assume that she was serious when she posted her TP thoughts.

"Reasonable to assume that she was serious" is fine with me. I have no problem with that. That's not belief with certainty. I responded to LB's post, which read:

It was not a joke. She MEANT it. You have no idea how narcissistic these Hollywood lefties get.

That's belief with certainty, which is unwarranted. Everything else I posted, be it to you or others, was in the context of my response to him. I have argued only that she MIGHT have been joking to counter that belief with certainty. I do think that there's a good likelihood that she was joking, but I've not tried to persuade anyone that she was, only that it's unreasonable to claim that she absolutely wasn't.
