As I am not murkin, you may always assume irony. Of course, there is
the irony paradox - can one be ironic about being ironic?
I do disagree - curmudgeons do expect an apology. Usually from the
world in general in respect of the harm done. But I know my duty and
will hold up my end of this burden, never fear.
