A sarcasm tag is also used to show that the poster understands that some people are too ignorant to know that there really are people out there who believe the ridiculous things they post.
It’s too much like telling a joke, then asking, “get it? The guy...,” to explain it.
Just tell it/ say it, and move on, ignoring those who have to ask.
Sometimes these digressions turn into to a complete thread highjacking, to the detriment of all.
Now, if somebody keeps on injecting questionable things into a thread, then a kitty-sniffing is indeed in order.
Yes it was sarcasm.
A sarcasm tag is essential for someone until they've established a posting history. Being on FR for less than two months isn't enough time.
And before Georgia1 gets his panties in a wad about being treated like the noob that he is, I've seen far too many noobs who are DU suicide runs post comments just like that and get zotted for it.
Don't like it, G1? Get over it. That's life.....
