    Shame that it seems like people don't realize you're using a real issue someone opened on github as a copypasta.

    Can be hard to tell.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law

    Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.[1][2][3]

    Origin

    Poe's law is based on a comment written by Nathan Poe in 2005 on christianforums.com, an Internet forum on Christianity. The message was posted during a debate on creationism, where a previous poster had remarked to another user: "Good thing you included the winky. Otherwise people might think you are serious".[4]

    The reply by Nathan Poe read:[1]

    Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is utterly impossible to parody a Creationist in such a way that someone won't mistake for the genuine article.

    Apparently this was the original post:

    https://old.reddit.com/r/github/comments/1at9br4/i_am_new_to_github_and_i_have_lots_to_say/

    And then someone saw it on Reddit and created an issue on the sherlock project over it:
