I agree we should leave this. Suffice to say that it is a rare piece of humour that does not involve a target. In responding to a satirical (?sarcastic) post I can see that you only ever targeted yourself and had some fun. But consider how it looked to the fellow who posted a serious suggestion and got this response- similar to reciting your latest poem in public and having two critics in the front row giggling to each other, I should think.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
