Accusing someone of being wholly incapable of grasping humor when they point out that your own attempts in that domain always fall completely flat seems REALLY mature and objective.

Nothing you have ever posted has been even remotely funny, despite how highly you regard your ability for posting with a "gentle eye of irony and humour." Since that last statement will undoubtedly tempt you to offer a meandering, angry, desperate rebuttal composed of egotism but bereft of any meaningful content, I will say this: Spare me. Instead, since these boards move at a snail's pace and you've shat all over a huge amount of their threads, why don't you link to an instance where someone actually commended you for one of your jokes? Sure, you might claim that people don't always do as much when they read a post they found funny, but the facts that no one has, and that most of your "jokes" are actually derided for their tedium and pompousness, should tell you something.

People might be more likely to actually find humor in your posts if--aside from the tedium and pompousness--they made any sense in the context of how you behave. You claim to attempt to "expose [your] vanities for people to share a smile with one over," but you snarl and froth at the mouth like a rabid dog anytime someone makes an accurate criticism of you, since you believe you're the only person worthy of criticizing yourself. Your previous post is a perfect example: I pointed out that no one shares your sense of humor, and you responded with what was analogous to "No, you're the poopy head"--a furious toddler-tantrum over the fact that any of your intellectual inferiors would have the gall to say that you aren't funny. With this in mind, it should be pretty clear why people are often unsure if something you've written is actually meant to be funny, or if it's one of your tirades about your intellectual and moral superiority. I also sincerely doubt you'e ever shared a smile with anyone.

On a related note, I think everyone here can be spared a lecture on the nature of humor from someone who has never intentionally made someone else laugh.

Since you can't even imagine what would make me laugh, and since you apparently don't even speak the same language as me, I suggest you save your gentle eye for irony and humor for like-minded people, such as your friends. Oh wait...
