Sarcasm in the forums....

While the majority of us are intelligent enough to discern sarcasm in comments and posts, are we forgetting how naive some people can be? It's highly possible that someone may take something that was meant as a joke, as truth or fact. We should help them instead of tearing them down and belittling them. I, for one, am nervous when i think of posting a topic for this very reason.

::::: CLICKING 'POST TOPIC' NERVOUSLY :::::::



edit: i should have posted this under the chit-chat forum....

    If I post a topic I figure the responses will be 50% serious, 40% sarcasm, 5% *kitten*, 4% dip s**ts, and 1% grammar freaks. I will admit I am generally in the sarcasm percentage.:wink:
