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.

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 shallowLionheart1211: sarcasm hurts! some people resort to sarcasm just to show how smart they are! Even on this site.

Sarcasm, if dealt with in a good way, is wonderful and I believe every single one of us resorts to it at some time or other. I refuse to get all serious about this, however if the above comments are directed in some way at me (cause I am sarcastic and I do say I have fantastic friends here, though this does not make me a hypocrit nor shallow) Then I repudiate such comments and can only say light up, lighten up and have a laugh.

So? what is wrong with being simply shallow? Î think that people use sarcasm only where they feel safe to use it ... and that is usually with friends? And yes, we are all friends here ...... maybe we not all bosom buddies, but we are friends .... on different levels of friendship. Friendships are formed by how much people confide in each other. If someone sits on the sidelines and never shares their feelings ... they cannot then complain if they feel left out......because people wont invade space they not invited into.
Sometimes nothing gets a point across better than a little Sarcasm..
If I use Sarcasm for the sole Purpose to show superiority and to inflict pain on someone,i am a Lost Soul anyway.

I've thought about it...
and this goes back to the good sarcasm vs the bad sarcasm.
good sarcasm is good.
bad sarcasm is bad.

Absolutely Smokey, I,m only normally sarcastic with my friends, certainly not with people I don,t know.
God this woman is so intelligent.
