        You are completely right.

        I was trying to make a joke, piggybacking off the other guy’s joke, but I can see that was poorly communicated.

            I think you did good, I took no offense. I often get insecure about “Are they joking? I’ll give a serious reply in case they’re not, or in case someone else thinks they might be serious” myself, so I’m usually more concerned with the question “Is this clear enough as a joke?” than with blaming other people for not getting that.

            I have an irrational aversion to suffixing my posts with tone markers like “(joke)” that I probably should do something about. It would certainly help with that confusion.

            Either way, offering a serious take as a safety measure is a good thing, and I appreciate that you took the time.

            May life be as kind to you as you are to others!
