I take any good intentioned sarcasm as joke I take any bad intentioned sarcasm as a low charactor of the owner |

It is difficult to discern "intent" in text. That's why we have these guys-->  Meet the emoticon.  Confusion is understandable online, D. I tend to be both sensitive and inclined to sarcasm--and I still "slip". I still find myself being misunderstood, and I also find myself misunderstanding intent. The best thing to do, though, is ask. When I get stuff wrong, I apologize. When I unintentionally hurt someone, I apologize. Sometimes I even apologize for apologizing too much. Then there is my tendency to over-explain m'self too. (Sorry about that folks.)  (See? That was sarcasm, but well-intentioned as a little joke, as indicated by the *winking smilie*) Hope that helps. |

Anger's ugly cousin? For me, sarcasm is completely overrated as a true catalyst for contention or heavy concern. I prefer big daddy Blatant. Otherwise I'm spending a lot of time being offended for things that were probably harmless slips or quips. There's no question to blatant. Blatant is pure-blooded and forthright. Until they have the guts to bring blatant, I'm not offended though I am concerned when others are hurt. |

I do not find any virtue in sarcasm. |

Essorant what about good intentioned teasing? In general, it will be read with a laugh. |

Reg took my thought. I think it's disguised anger.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |
