No formation of oil drops? Thank God! That’s your idea of a good thing??!! Why do you need all that oil on the outside of your chain? Geeze, I hated working on bikes from you guys who think that if a little oil is good, a lot must be better. Disgusting and a sure sign someone didn’t know how to maintain his bike.

I’m not sure that you’re “supposed” to do anything. It might be what you do, and it works for you, so well done. Me, I simply reinstall the waxed chain on the bike, run the chain up through the gears, and it’s done. Last thing is a quick wipe of the DS chain stay to remove the wax flakes - all set.

I was just indicating a representative analogous brush. If I used a toothbrush zip-tied to the right dropout, I would cut off most of the handle.A guy gets a flat tire alongside an insane asylum. He jacks up the car, takes off the lug nuts and puts them in the hub cap, puts the spare tire on, but when he turns around to get the lug nuts, he accidentally knocks it all into the ditch filled with deep water. "Now what am I going to do?" A guy peeks out through the bars of the asylum and says, "Just take one lug nut from the other three wheels, use those on the spare, and replace all when you get to town." "That's a great idea! What're you doing in there? How did you know that?" "I may be crazy, but I'm not stupid."

OK since you're going to be like that
-> The first two sentences are not sarcasm you were agreeing with him.
The third sentence is not sarcasm, it's incredulity.
What it is is confusing since the third sentence seems to contradict the first two and why I wrote my original reply but I guess you were directing it at someone(s) else who disagrees with the two of you and left you an ugly chain to work on... and that's what I misunderstood.
None of this is sarcasm either. It's just telling people off for screwing up their oil allocation.
