The OP's joke works better when your examples don't show up.

I hope you'll clarify what you mean by this; it currently sounds somewhat like a snarky insult.

(Cf: Me: "I can't get my comment to display." You: "Good.")

Sorry, that isn't at all what I meant!

What I meant was that, in the context of the original post, suggesting that you will present counterexamples and then failing to present any was in keeping with the joke of the thread.

I'll try to rephrase my comment.
