Def Spec -- Should I, Really?

[KiloVictor]

Wow.  Excuse me whilst I, unbalanced and oversensitive as I am, do most humbly thank you in all your magnanimity and altruism for such a gracious assent to a polite request.

And while we're at it, I'd like to request that posters either

i) refrain from dry irony and wit, or
ii) clearly demarcate all such displays with IEEE-standard HTML extensions denoting same, as shown above.

Not all of us are capable of recognizing ironic intent, and we wouldn't want to offend the cognitively impaired by excluding them from our topical discourse.

PS - Back (marginally) to topic, I find the server terms "carebear" and "gankfest" that I've seen used in the WoW community to be hilarious. It's gaming slang as far as I can see, not some coded lexicon of discrimination. Perhaps this is a product of our "politically correct" (hate that Orewellan term) times, but if somebody uses a term like this in humour, what's the issue?

I mean, if somebody's using the term with derogatory intent, surely the overall content and tone of the post will be enough to condemn them, without having to play word police, no?
