Sarcasm on the internet...

[JaggedEdge]

O.k. if you are going to be sarcastic or make a joke in your post, I suggest using a smilie to show that it is a joke and you aren't being serious.

Ex.

Yeah, your a smart one.

It helps to understand in what context what you wrote should be taken in.

Ex 2
You all should be warned the world will end in 7 days.

With out the wink we are left wondering, at least in the back of our minds, if you are just some crazy who really believes he knows when the world will end.

Im sorry if this is about my last post on your thread. My sarcasm is always good sarcasm....so I feel no need for a smiley...because everyone knows I cant be taken seriously.

I was just complaining to my friend about how nobody can tell when someone is being sarcastic over the internet, lol. Well, sometimes they can, but... hmm, whatever. =)

No, it wasn't in reply to your post. It is more for the newer members who's persona's we havn't figured out yet. I can usually figure out in what to take what a regular member has said, but the newer members I have no idea.

Well, thats because they are new members and havent established a persona
