But there,s sarcasm and sarcasm. There is also the sarcasm that a few of us here direct at each other just for a mutual laugh and with no real malicious intention.dancing banana

that's the good sarcasm.....

the bad one is when it's used to insult someone directly, on purpose.


the thing is... one can very easily differenciate between good sarcasm and bad sarcasm in a conversation for example, as the tone of voice, body language and eyes remove all possible offence when it's good sarcasm.

in writing, it's a bit more difficult, but if that is done through one of those silly threads where one posts, another posts, then another one posts, and it's like a fluid conversation but in the virtual world of this message box, then good sarcasm can be seen from a mile off.

The problem is when somebody takes a thread and reads it without having participated in it, they might get the wrong end....

sarcasm hurts! some people resort to sarcasm just to show how smart they are! Even on this site. The height of hypocrisy is when they then say that we are all friends here and it is fantastic! Whoever resorts to sarcasm is simply shallow
