(Update: link display problem fixed.)
Counterexamples (promoted/high-karma/high-status author):
(I began with the first one and ended with the last one for a reason. I am entirely in favor of applause lights and positive-affect words as long as they serve their purpose -- community-building, making humans feel good -- and don't substitute for argument where the latter is appropriate.)
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.
