No one who actually meant that would write it in a public forum. OK, here's a sarcasm declaration.
That's not what I meant and your remarks were not sarcastic by any reasonable interpretation of the definition.
Definition
(from Cambridge International Dictionary of English)
sarcasm
noun [U]
(the use of) remarks which clearly mean the opposite of what they say, and which are made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to criticize something in an amusing way

I know you're not the only one on this forum who does it, but sometimes I'm real, real glad I'm half way across the world from some of you.
The disclaimer when you post says:
Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.
John, you hide this message now. If you hit post and click the bypass previewing button, it will never appear. Is this intentional?
I am sorry to have upset you, but that post was substantially no different from the advocation that Hollywood Star made regarding his proposed treatment of Kenneth Starr, and that was broadcast on all the major networks.
There are usenet newsgroups where that post would have been considered, if not words of love, to be hilariously funny.
I hope you never encounter them.
