Sigh. No alanleroy, irony is not a simple contradiction, so please stop using big words you don't understand. Irony is when language or actions produce the opposite of their intended effect. So in motown's dim analogy comparing people with squirrels, this would be ironic:

A park ranger confiscated food from visitors who are trying to feed the animals, begins consuming that food himself, and then becomes dependent on it.

Get it? Finally?

You do realize that words have more than one dictionary definition, right?

3

a (1) : incongruity between the actual result of a sequence of events and the normal or expected result (2) : an event or result marked by such incongruity

So maybe accusing some one of something and then finding out he merely copied you is in fact an example of Irony...
Nope, inaccurate does not mean the same thing as incongruous, or ironic. Even if you want it to.

Jeez Louise, the main point of this thread isn't to discuss the meaning of "irony". It's to discuss the inconstant application of logic...
No, motownbob's first premise, that "we are also encouraged TO judge ALL Gun Owners by the actions of a few lunatics," is patently dishonest, right? And I learned long ago to NEVER respond to false premises; I simply point and laugh. Which is what I have been doing all along.

Forkie, you're really disappointing as of late, you used to make sense every now and again, a little bit anyway.

Ok let me type it slowly for you.

1. You thought you were humiliating drmilled regarding his use of the word ignore. That was your expected result.
2. The actual result was you were humiliated because drmilled never used the word ignore...he merely copied and pasted YOUR words.
3. That is not simply you being inaccurate again..it is in fact a genuine incongruity between the expected result and the actual result....and damn Ironic if I do say so myself.

Get it now...or is it time for you to question what the meaning of IS is?

That's the dimmest thing you've said yet. In order for drmilled to ever be humiliated he would have to have some self-awareness. Good luck with that.

Reminds me of when I said that DonDiego had posted the thing about naked crucifixions, and he corrected me and said that he had not posted, but linked to it. And this time I wrote "wrote" instead of "copied." Oh burn!

But neither of the above are ironic.

So now you've claimed it was "simple contradiction" and "inaccurate" and merely "You wrote "wrote" instead of "copied". You just keep digging a deeper hole.

It's pretty clear you were attacking drmilled...or making fun of him or whatever you wish to call it....whether you wish to admit it or not. It's pretty clear you were trying to one up him over his use of the word "Ignore". In fact you said:

"So you're saying that when you write "ignore" it really means "NOT ignore." I suppose when you write "laugh occasionally," it really means "cry constantly."

Now it's pointed out that the word 'ignore' in drmilled's post actually originated from his copying your very own post....and your attempt to make fun of drmilled actually reflects badly on you. That is the opposite of your intended consequence and by definition ironic.

And now it's just about "wrote" vs "copied". The definition of IS. Brilliant (Irony intended).

Yep, what I should have said was:

"So you're saying that when you copied"ignore" from system generated text - not from me! - it really means "NOT ignore." I suppose when you write "laugh occasionally," it really means "cry constantly."

Nah. My first version just flows better. Besides, unless you have the literalism and inflexibility of Rainman, the first version is perfectly adequate.
