    I am gonna be the educator - ha - I am so gonna get some *kitten* for this but... how can you tell a person is being sarcastic online when you can't hear his/her tone in writing - the reader receives the message written according to mood, therefore it is all in perspective of the reader himself.

    :smile: exactly.

    Who's this girl? Her gifs have been getting around quite a bit lately.

    Jenna Marbles. Some you tube thing. She's like Paris Hilton, except not as interesting.


    Wait, Paris Hilton is interesting? Really? Or is that sarcasm? Hmm...I can't quite decide.

    People want others to treat them special. If they don't get that here, there's always Disneyland.

    yes disneyland is great for eating disorders, being overweight, despression etc.
    That's when you have to hit up "It's a Small World Afterall" 5 or 6 times. It'll pass.

    People get all sensitive about stuff all the time. Me - I like a good dose of sarcasm.

    On another note - I LOVE LOVE Dean Winchester (aka Jensen Ackles). Thank you for making my day by posting this. :love:

    I think puns are the lowest form of wit. I hate puns.

    I love sarcasm, I am as sarcastic as can be. There are 2 reasons people get offended.

    The first reason people get offended by on the internet is partially that they can't hear the tone in your voice and don't read it as sarcasm. That is one of the reasons.

    The other is that they are like my mother and have no sense of humor when it comes to themselves. She can't laugh at herself and she takes it all way too serious. She says that a joke is really a way of telling the truth without saying it.

    Was that directed at me? If yes, my sarcasm didn't come through? :sad:
    And I agree that puns are a lower form of wit than sarcasm. Puns lack sophistication. And feel a little like cheap fun.

    There needs to be a sarcasm font :)

    That would simply make it easier for those with dramatically delicate sensibilities to more readily locate the "Report" button.

    Why are so many members of MFP offended by sarcasm?
    How can you improve yourself, if you're not willing to laugh at yourself a little?

    I cannot WAIT to see the responses to this. :laugh:

    I dn't have a sarcastic bone in my body. I post serious replies all the time. I'm just so warped, everyone takes them to be sarcastic!

    Personally, I'm crying on the inside, and I need a hug. And bacon. Mostly, just bacon.

    Haha. Bacon is basically a food-hug. :)
