I guess he feels nowadays that he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. If he puts the disclaimer on, people have a go at him for it, but when he doesn't, and then claims he was joking, he also gets jumped on.

Why doesn't he just not post if he's ever in doubt about how people will interpret his post. Easy.
