As it would seem the original talk given in private messages on this matter did not actually suffice to point out the futility of the ‘kidding defense’, I’ll repeat it for the rest of the room.
No, this was not a joke, nor was it ‘satire’. This is a statement that ended up polling poorly, and the poster trying to distance themselves from the matter.
We chose to give the user the opportunity to edit their post and tone it differently, if they wanted to express their beliefs and opinion on certain types of player preference, and hide the original post until they did so. But if they want to play this up as an attempt at humor, we have no compunctions about making that post visible again as we close this thread, as it is not humor, nor a debate we need on these forums.
