It's a shame there can't be more inflection in posts, I believe there'd be less misunderstanding. Particularly if you're kinda old school, meaning I have a very hard time writing informally, having grown up writing letters vs posts

How much greyer does my hair have to be before I morph into a Dem?

Geez, Pete - you old school - who woulda thunk. (inflection facetious)

Yeah, the limited choice of smileys is far from sufficient to represent the complex nuanced thought and feeling put into our posts. (half facetious)
Accordingly, I get tired of using them, and hope that the context will carry the attitude, but it is quite possible to be misread. Yes, I was kidding about there being hope for you yet - but - I'll bet your views on "entitlements" change in the next dozen years or so. (half-serious)

I'm not old enough for the second round of paying for my SS falling on my kids lol.

Or is that cry.

I was speaking of the recent SCOTUS decision in Citizens United vs. The FEC.

What comes around, goes around.

The latest one - and I really love it - is whining that people are trying to take away your 1st Amendment right to free speech when they disagree with you.
