This blog entry sucks.

See, I make it as obvious as possible but it STILL gets missed. So really, the problem lies with people who don't think, rather than the people being sarcastic.

No, your problem isn't that people don't understand your sarcasm, it's your tendency to talk down to people that makes people read your sarcasm as straight.

...You know, now I have the problem that by inviting people to be sarcastic by mentioning it's an issue, I can't tell which, if any, of you are serious...

I'm not serious.

As if NOBODY foresaw people being sarcastic in an entry about sarcasm. God forbid THAT should happen.

I'll never be sarcastic online again.

The thing that really annoys me with sarcasm online, is that people use it as an excuse to pseudo-flame.

They'll say something offensive and then say "I was being sarcastic, geez." as a copout.

The problem is that there are like fifty different problems.

My favorite one is the readers who just can't jump across the sarchasm.

Of course it's impossible to convey sarcasm. I'm so sorry.

Even if you use lots of italics and caps, you're bound to be misunderstood by at least somebody. Not to mention it always ends up sounding belligerent over the internet.

I just wanted to post so I could let you know just how much I love the "sarchasm" jape. It's beyond awesome.

Also, I take everything at face value, as in if it's something that I can't read in a way that isn't sarcastic, I take it as sarcasm.
