Heh. I'm sure you're just kidding and I realize that, though I admit that comment was a lil weird considering he's old and disabled. Anyways though.. Lol.. I'm sure you meant nothing wrong by that and were just kidding as I said.
I've actually got a somewhat similar comment before in regards to one of my pictures..
This one photographer guy one time said something like.. "How am I ever suppose to get a shot like that? You make it really hard for me to be a photographer" Or something like that.. I'm probably butchering it.. But.. The sentiment was positive towards me even though it sounded kinda negative to himself. I know he meant well, but to me it was like.. I wanted to tell him that maybe some day he could get a shot like mine if he kept trying and to not give up.
And I know I take people too literally sometimes, it was prob just an off the cuff kind of joke kinda like the one you did.. Though I dunno, I guess language is weird sometimes and especially over the internet where there's no tone of voice or laughter to signify someone was joking.
But.. Thanks for appreciating and for the randowhale thing! Not sure how all that works but it said thanks to you up above. So thanks! :) I appreciate it. And looking forward to sharing more of my dads images, also.. I talked to him earlier tonight and explained a buncha stuff and he seemed open minded to the idea of making his own account.. He didn't say he was going to for sure, but he seemed positive about the idea.. So.. Maybe he will sign up afterall! :) We'll see. Thanks again customnature!

lol Sarcasm is lost on some people. You just happen to be one of them. I'm not going to punch your elderly, disabled father in the face for being an amazing photographer. Hahaha It's an extreme way to say I'm jealous of his skills. No problem about the randowhale, or the resteem.

I was 99% sure you were just joking, who would say something like that and be serious? Yet, to be straight forward I've only exchanged a couple words with you and I dunno what you're like, but still it was just kinda weird, lol.. That's not my culture or and people don't usually act like that around me, I do remember a friend I used to have that was kinda like that.. But even for him joking about punching my father would be strange.
I assume where you are from it's much more normal to joke about punching each other. I apologize for not just going along with the joke and laughing, but it just seemed a bit foreign to me.

PS I posted another image of my fathers today and it did well again! I have a good feeling he'll eventually sign up and try it out. ._. Not 100% but.. A good feeling.
