Irony is as alien to me as it is rare in the postings of our host. That rain is merely sunshine condensed, and the clouds blue skies resting in the shade.<br /><br />But your gentle swipe demonstrates an interesting technique. Where others sometimes drop ammunition in battle, you load a gun, point it at your head, and guide your opponent's hand to the trigger.

On the contrary, I’m quite certain that under Mr Ishmael’s rules all are most welcome and that freedom of speech is absolute. Perhaps your comment, with its sub-text that ornamentation is a sign of intellectual weakness, was aimed solely at me, it’s a little difficult, from your own usual snide and sarcastic style, to tell.<br /><br />It does not surprise me at all that you should be an adherent of the likes of Herr Loos, whose work was founded, it seems to me, in an innate belief in his own cultural and intellectual superiority. This would appear, at least from the comments you make on this blog, to be an attitude you share.<br /><br />I had thought that it was a fine day, and the garden was looking quite splendid in the sunshine, but now, having read you, I see in reality it’s pissing down.
