Actually I was mainly hurt and angered by the statement that I put in asterisks in my first response on the matter. That was the point I wanted to put across and I felt that you did not acknowledge the effect of your words.
I think irony and satire are primarily decorative. They make certain things easier to say and hear. Whether those things should be said is another matter, depending largely on your awareness of your audience. Satire and irony can also be used as a mask from behind which the speaker can peer. Although I prefer to see the face of the speaker, sometimes the mask is a beautiful work of art so there is value in that.
I couldn't stop reading your postings if I was paid to try. Regarding face-value - I like things whittled down and simplified as much as possible to their purest elements, I believe that leaves little room for misinterpretation. However, I also can't resist beauty and not all beauty is simple.
