It means there is a fine line between correcting people and being annoying. (And I'm not just saying that because Margaret's my sister. There are several people on here who like to keep a joking or sarcastic tone to the conversation. Not to mention grammar-freaks.)

I know I was thinking last night about how its so hard to know when someone is joking our not. Just about every post is a joke of some kind.

It's true that she's an introvert. But really, she's becoming more and more sarcastic, because you keep reacting. I'm just sayin' I've had a lot of experience with sarcasm. I don't mind it (even employ it myself occasionally) but if it seriously bothers you the only thing to do is ignore it. Trying to correct people over the internet is really tricky.

And remember, kids, I'm not trying to throw cold water on the conversation, it's just that occasionally now that I'm 18 I feel all adultish and responsible suddenly, and feel like I have to keep you young 'uns from getting into too much trouble.

Exactly the same question I ask myself: "What am I doing on Social Chatting #6?"
I congratulate you Ian. You really hit the nail with your head.

Work on your socialization and you will find that out.

Was this in reply to my "How old are you?" question?

I'd prefer not to say. Once a lady gets to a certain age you are not supposed to ask that question.

@Ian: it was a reply to this, which was a reply to that.
