It wasn’t clear. Tone in text without previous interaction is difficult.
You do know shitbirds here would post that, right?

Yeah, well you’re certainly right about that. I hereby retract my snarky reply.

“ It wasn’t clear. Tone in text without previous interaction is difficult.”

That’s the problem with text. Two important variables , facial expression and tone (voice) are missing so it can be difficult to convey humor/ sarcasm. I am also not a fan of smilies and the /s tag to convey that because if you have to tell someone something was meant to be sarcastic then the sarcasm is already dead. Just yesterday someone commented to me on YouTube “You can’t be serious !!! “. I wasn’t . But I didn’t say that. His reaction was good enough for me :)
