So you have a magical ability to know that I wasn't using hyperbole and that I was serious? That is some pretty skilled reading you've got there. Did you hear the inflection in my voice too even though I was only typing?
Without hearing my voice you can't judge the seriousness of my comments.

Just a word of friendly advice, it's probably wise to avoid blanket statements like: "I'd be shocked if any
[insert broad swathe of people to be offended here] wasn't a
[insert derogatory group here]" on an internet forum...hyperbole, sarcasm, or otherwise.
Unless you're fotze.
There are exemptions of course. Sports and bodily functions you can do..."I'd be shocked if any
Oiler fans weren't
bedwetters" but there are certain things you just don't lump people as (racists, pedophiles, etc.). Not good to cross that line.
