I think the irony is that you don't really understand the definition of irony.

Irony is a form of speech in which the real meaning is concealed or contradicted by the words used. Irony involves the perception that things are not what they are said to be or what they seem. Dramatic irony lies in the audience's deeper perceptions of a coming fate, which contrast with a character's lack of knowledge about said fate. A common metaphor for using irony is to "have your tongue in cheek".

I would have also accepted, "a means of expression which suggests a different, usually humorous or angry, meaning for the words used"; however you did not display any of the stated attributes in your earlier posts.
Methinks I remain to be convinced.

methinks you know how to use the copy and paste function on your pc better than you know what irony means.
