Ironical that you can dish out irony when it is an 'easy out' but you can't take it when it is dished out to you. This isn't 'overly sensitive' but simply paranoid. When you dish out irony, you use it to excuse yourself. When you receive irony, it is somehow completely evil. Projection, projection, projection. I take it back, this isn't ironical at all. Irony presupposes a certain bit of 'surprise', 'humor' or 'chagrin'. Here, it is totally expected & humorless under the circumstances, so I guess no emotion should apply and there is no basis for true irony after all. My mistake. More pathos than anything. True social behavior (as opposed to anti-social behavior) begins when you realize you don't always have to have the last word, when you realize you don't always have to 'be right'. When you forget perceived insults and realize it is your own sensitivity and probably not the true intention of your percieved antagonist to hurt you. Then you can make real progress (and friends). Sadly, I think you truely lack the capacity to understand your condition. Nevertheless I sincerely hope that isn't the case. I think the best thing for you would be to lose one of your internal arguments. Always winning leads to megalomaniacal behavior. Come on, Rolf. Show your better side. Don't try to be so perfect. Perfectionism is itself a flaw. Use stats, not sticks. Calm not warring words. Help not hurt. Don't think your own definitions are always the right ones for someone else--that is very condescending. Arguments are never won by condescending words, nor is it usually conducive to persuasion. You reap what you sow. Use bitter irony and you will reap bitter replies (in many cases)--why sow for sorrow. Take care. Hope you take a needed break (my opinion, don't blame Sune or anyone else) and come back please when things are better--you would be very welcome.
