No -- you were the only one confused after the first, oh, say, 5 e-mails.
Perhaps you are incapable of understanding the finer points of humour.
It was so obvious to _everyone but yourself_ that it was a joke. The
only reason anybody wondered at all is because you took it so
seriously. But despite that, people were still pretty sure it was a
joke. You, on the other hand, believed I was serious and proceeded to
say that I should be sentenced to death (!) were I not so young.
I had already made known my views on BCS, it was foolish of you to
believe that I would oppose separate BCS Wikis but support a
_Zlatiborian_ Wikipedia. And not just support it, but act militantly
ultranationalistic for a non-existant nation to such a degree that was
isn't even mirrored in Zlatibor itself?
Either you have a poor sense of humour, or you have a willingness to
believe anything about Americans. Perhaps it is the later. Well, there
are some pretty crazy things about America. There are a lot of morons
here. But there are a lot of morons everywhere. American morons just
have more visibility and tend to draw more attention and make bigger
fools of themselves. This reminds me of the mistranslation in the UN
General Assembly of a speech, rendered as "1 million people in the
United States live in caves..." (and in case you're wondering, it's
not actually true. I don't have statistics for cave population density
in the US, but I'm pretty sure we have less than 100 people living in
caves, if any at all). Mistranslation, yes. But nobody noticed it. It
wasn't until the transcripts were printed that a delegate noticed the
error. The word was "slums", not "caves". Why did nobody notice it?
The very same reason you did not realise I was joking. Contrary to
popular opinion, Americans are human beings too. Well, at least most
of us are.

humourous?
On the other hand, every e-mail about Zlatiborian was full of things
that should've made it fairly obvious.
Maybe in your world only children laugh, but here everybody does.
Mark, you confused not only me, but a lot of other people. As well as
you didn't say that you are joking. As well as you are not saying that
you are joking now.
