I'm going to be honest, I thought he died a couple of years ago.

Amen to that. Best of all, the majority of people he pissed off are ones who had it coming.

I toyed with the idea you might be making a joke. But your humor is so straight, and there's no context clues in text, so I wasn't sure. I figured it best to just answer the question.

Sometimes it's subconscious, and I don't even realize I've done it, but this time it was deliberate.
No worries. I realize how difficult it can be to tell the difference.
