I downvoted not because you joked, but because you made patently untrue claims and then backed them up with a very poor methodology. So poor that you can't simultaneously be smart enough to read and understand this site and dumb enough to think it's logical to argue this way.

I conclude, therefore, that you're trolling.

I wasn't talking about the downvotes, that's to be expected. I was talking about the humorless replies :)

If we all acted our IQs, all the time, the world would be a very boring place. It's not responsible to buy myself expensive toys, it's not respectable to be sarcastic. Yet we do it anyway.

Trolling is meant to make people angry, I meant to to get a chortle out of at least somebody... but now I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that this is not the site for that. Thank you for helping me realize it.

Joking is fine -- as long as you make a point and contribute to the discussion. Throwing out some one-liner about Apple security is not a valuable contribution, and then yes, your jokes weren't funny either.
