That's Len.

She's been mentioned several times already on this thread (once by me) as a favorite VJer.

She's also left the site permanently, more to our sorrow.

I didn't see the original thread, nor do I think I want to. I understand sarcasm, satire, dark irony, whatever, but this doesn't seem to have the same ring behind as A Modest Proposal, for example. Especially on a board with a high number of Islamic members. Is the meaning behind this 'satire' to say the opposite? Or is it just an excuse to insult Islam while pretending to be super intelligent? I'm confused.

The meaning behind the satire is what generally makes something satirical. Sarcasm -- especially 'dark sarcasm' is really at the heart intended to be bitter and caustic and not offer any solution. Satire is generally attacking or bringing to light a social or political issue the originator wants people to consider seriously.

Scandal, read my previous post above. Am well aware of the long tradition of satire in English prose.

Jonathan Swift famously used satire to mock the powerful and influential forces of his day - the Church, the Monarchy, the elites. There's a long tradition of using satire in English prose since at least Swift's time (> 300 years) to sharpen a point an author is trying to make.

Now, I agree there's a difference between good political satire and outright meanness and cruelty.

Sorry jundp -- I don't read VJ during the working day, and will often skim long threads to get caught up in the evening.

Do you have any Irish children we can cook up for dinner? I'm feeling a bit peckish

Scandal - someone who thinks that joking about cannibalism is humorous.

Time to jump over to the pariah thread, methinks.

Sigh. Maybe jundp can it explain it to you, Swifty.

It was in poor taste in 1729, as much as it is in poor taste today.
