Apparently I’m just a moron, because i see no reason to believe your post was satirical. The advice is silly, sure - but I’ve seen worse advice posted here, and this very thread is full of people who are apparently fearful of carrying a pen knife.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law: "Poe then replied, "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article." My earlier post reads:>"You can always carry a pistol unloaded, with ammo in a separate pocket, so you have time to think clearly whether to load should violence occur!8-)) "< Note the !8-)) emoticon/smiley. While your first affirmation/admission above ("Apparently I'm...") holds, Poe's Law does not apply.
