Honest questions asking for explanation are almost guaranteed to result in a negative vote sum. Boo hoo hoo. Oh no, lost some internet points. Anyone whose opinion is worth a damn will applaud you asking honest questions; especially here, on defensive poser central. Make myself feel better for what? Maybe I needed to include the /s tags... You've gone for the "I wasn't being serious" defense, pretending you didn't mean it. However, your post wasn't remotely sarcastic and contained far too much detail and defensiveness, with a tone taking itself very seriously. You're convincing nobody. What exactly do you now claim you were being sarcastic about? "The prose seems to resemble something dark and beautiful and meaningful"; that's sarcasm, is it? So you're saying it IS something dark and beautiful and meaningful? "And the bytecode just couldn't be more boring to me." Right, so you were saying the bytecode was some of the most interesting code you've ever read? If your post was sarcasm, you're truly terrible at it and should switch to irony or satire instead. Little bit of literary term privilege there for you to sarcastically pretend to object to. FFS, this is the anonymous internet. If you can't be honest with yourself here, where will you be honest with yourself.
