I doubt that. Though I don't discount it.

"Tricked"? Idiot. How can I trick you, when I would have no clue you would even read it, let alone reply?

Not hidden or partially hidden in some way.
I thought that the comments I made were plainly obvious irony, and am sure most "got it". If you hadn't been so keen to jump down my throat with some perceived chance of derisively scoring some point, I'm sure you'd have got it too, but hey ho.
It would spoil the OP to end it with an explanatory nudge for the stupid or the exciteable, and the sole reason I added an invisible one was just because it's tiresome when the occasional axe-grinder nevertheless misses the irony, in their rush to score what they gleefully believe to be a clever point, and subsequently equally tiresomely (but sadly predictably) maintains that it was never intended as ironic in the first place. A precaution, if you like.

I'll press quote for all your posts from now on then shall I, just in case?
Do you whatever you like old boy, but perhaps it might be wise to just do that before casting smart-ass barbs like you thought you did in my direction:-

You showed yourself up. Deal with it.
I very frequently do, although tbf I major in sarcasm.
