Is there a rule about identifying as such? That's like having to put "satire" in the title of a post at FR.

If people are too stupid to get it, that's their problem.

Note the name of the person quoted. It is S. A. Tyre which is the word ‘satire’.

The new rules at Twitter require you to include “PARODY” if it’s parody so people know.

I never flag my satire as parody or use the sarcasm off/on thing. If people take it seriously I consider it self-identification that they either don’t get parody or are just too dumb to understand. Either way, it’s good info to have. ;-)

Agreed, particularly on FR. But out of courtesy, I sometimes tag sarcasm in my posts here. I fully recognize that like the general public, 50% of FR members have below average IQ’s.

Too many people, probably the great majority on the Left, cannot understand satire or anything approaching humor at all.
When I post something satirical I do NOT mark it.
