He's just cranky from another thread. We won't hijack more.

Yes, your version of a sense of humor makes Aspies of us all. — Coben

You're going with "I was joking"?

It was the most charitable interpretation. I'll end my hijacking here.

Why not let's work with this part of my response?

I think it can be useful to think of emotions in categories. I think it can also be useful not to box them in and notice nuances. Depends on the context. I suppose I take an instrumentalist view. What is the best way to think or speak about it in this or that context. And I would likely use different ways in different contexts. I do think that each experience is unique and if it is the specificity i want to focus on, then I might go into just such detail or at least let myself notice it. If I am angry at someone, I'd probably speak about it in less detail, just call it anger and say what it is about, since the nuances would often not be useful or would detract from the core message. — Coben

Well sort it out
