But the highest form of intelligence!!
I think MFP needs a sarcasm button. I've read so many posts where the sarcasm is BLINDINGLY obvious but people have still replied as if the OP meant what they were saying. Come on MFP, it's for the greater good!!

    If we eliminate the natural filter on who can read sarcasm, I run the risk of friending the wrong kind of people.

    There's no place for sarcasm on MFP chat boards, it's supposed to be a friendly, encouraging place for people to get a pat on the back :yawn: :laugh:

    They still wouldn't get it. Humor is wasted on the humorless.

    Sarcasm might be the lowest form of wit, but it's better than having no wit at all. That is all.

    sometimes i miss the sarcasm...but it's only because i know far too many douchbags in real life that it's hard to know if someone in a forum is a serious moron, or if they are just trying to be funny.

    The thread i started on Jogging was total sarcasm...it ran 15 pgs.
    Only a few on my FL got it.

    If you can't laugh I feel sorry for you.
