You weren't joking. Burb apparently misinterpreted the tone of your post and you got angry and used sarcasm, and then with no further provocation made that second post which seemed to serve no other purpose than to throw more malice in Burb's direction and, as far as I can tell, get a rise out of him, since you already made the point that you were joking in your first post.
When others step out of line, they're called out on it too. Don't play the victim card. Stop throwing aggression at Burb. Just can the argument and move on to a more productive and peaceful discsussion.

On an unrelated note, all the discussion of Sonic in this thread has me seriously wanting to play some Genesis Sonic. It's been ages since I played any of them (well, except I played 3D Blast pretty recently).
