Problem with irony

The problem with irony is that it acts as a shield and defends one from criticism. Now the line is truly blurred between irony and sincerity and it is not a good thing. Irony acts as a defence against any form of criticism - I was being ironic - but also destroys any vulnerability, naivety or true, humbling sincerity.
I've realised I've been using this armour with this game and I hope to dispel some of that over the next few days. As yet, I'm not sure how. Satire? Scepticism?
