hutzlibu was ironic.

That you didn’t see this, make me think that some cultures have more use of irony than others. I can imaging that in a potpourri of cultures like the USA irony can often be misunderstood and therefore is less used than in other countries.

Wow, that’s a lot of extrapolation from one comment.

First of all, TheSpiceIsLife is Tasmanian according to their bio.

Second, even if they were American to then assume that all Americans can’t pick up on irony or sarcasm because one person on the internet missed an instance of it is quite the stretch.
