Yeah, you quoted the original poster WAY out of context....out of all the accomplishments he/she listed for Marvin, you took out "hooked on drugs" and "shot and killed", so it came off like you thought those were Marvin's only accomplishments...I missed that you were making sarcastic commentary on the inclusion of those two items as "accomplishments".

still, I don't think that falls under "reading is fundamental". that falls under the subjective category of appreciating sarcasm, which is determined as much by the sharp wit of the writer as the sharp eye of the reader.

to put it simply, your sarcasm didn't come off well.

Thoughtfully yours,

Spirit
