I’m mostly teasing Warb, it didn’t bother me. But it’s still true that saying “I want to sigh but I won’t” is basically no different than actually doing it.
No, but I think his point was he wanted to sigh but decided to do it indirectly by framing it in the form of a joke. And now that it has to be explained…
I think the choice not to let Warb have his little joke but to non-humorously pick it apart speaks to the non-fun Warb is talking about.
