      I’ve always felt that if you need the /s you’re doing sarcasm wrong, even acknowledging text conveys no verbal tone.

        I would agree with you, but sarcasm has to be both implied and inferred. There’s plenty of people that freak out about an extremely obvious sarcastic comment…

          Yeah, but the people who freak out over what you wrote sarcastically also have a habit of freaking out over stuff you don’t write, but they imagine you did, so I feel tailoring posts for them is a waste of time.

        I like the way you think. To quote myself, “If you need to use the /s, you’re not sarcastic hard enough.”

      I would agree, but when I commented you were getting downvoted
