"What the hell don't you get? We didn't think you were funny."

The implication there is that you did sense a joke, you just thought it was a bad one. However, if you didn't get the joke as you claimed originally then under what fair criteria could you possibly come up with to make the claim that it was "seriously misdirected and obviously misinformed?" If you understood the joke, you'd realize just how off base that claim is. That there are others who don't get it isn't particularly persuasive either, I've noted for some time at DU just how tone deaf to humor some people are, so you'll excuse me for not taking comedy pointers from individuals who have developed hairline fractures in their funny bones.
