Satire or not, you hold the list hostage with your flame-bait.
One of the qualities of satire is that it is extreme. Credible on some
level, yes, but extreme and perhaps incredible on others. Swift's "A Modest
Proposal" proposed a reasonable argument for eating the poor. His tone was
matter of fact and many people were outraged. However the fact that his
solution to the problem of the poor should offend any human is the clue that
the whole thing is a sham, a satire. Your views, unfortunately, are not that
extreme. The view you expressed is probably in line with the beliefs of a
good number of folks. How are we to know what your angle is? Of course
people who know you will get the joke, but most of don't know you. So people
must be forgiven for thinking your lame ass joke is the real deal.
Peace,
Matt
