Yeah, you guys got about 437 posts to go if we girls decide not to post at all. That's definitely really close to 0.

Even on the Internet it's often not too hard to pick up on whether someone's being sarcastic or not. Still, sometimes emphasis is needed as well.

Mm, I'd say it depends. In a thread like this, where things like silliness and sarcasm are to be expected, it's a lot easier to pick up on sarcasm. In a more serious place or in response to a more serious subject, though, then emphasis or some type of hint is typically needed.

People who try to fight sarcasm on the internet usually end up left in a dumpster behind some building.

Yep pretty much.

I try to emphasis my sarcasm when it is necessary. Otherwise I come off as rude and I know I've been mistaken for that many many times oops.

No, I think it's just because you're the worst moderator ever.

Plz it's just sarcasm

You get the point. ^_^

I have turned really cynical due to real life events, so I tend to make a lot of cynical/sarcastic comments nowadays, especially on Skype, fff. Really wish Skype had the option to italicize messages so people would know I'm being sarcastic without me having to say "/sarcasm" every time.

I don't like to use sarcasm. It hurts people. If someone makes a sarcastic joke about you on the internet, you'll probably get cold sweat. I know from experience

That last post I made would have been really bad if I didn't say that it was sarcastic.

Ah yeah, I forgot, I sometimes use asterisks or dashes when being sarcastic, too XD

When I am sarcastic, I usually make sure that it won't upset or offend the person or people I'm speaking with. I also know from personal experience that sarcasm can result in problems, orz

Except on GChat asterisks make things bold.

Which makes it worse.
