    I for one think there is a time and place for it.

    There are also certain people you can go further with than others BUT keep in mind that everyone can see your post and those that don't understand might not like it.

    I have seen a lot of "smart" responses when someone is asking a genuine question because they don't know any better. These are the ones that irk me.

    I will be honest about it, for me it depends who you are and what mood I am in. I can take it as long as you think you can handle what I will throw back at you.

    I think there is a two fold issue here. 1st: Some people need to develop a thicker skin. 2nd: Some people need to have their heads driven into a concrete wall over and over again until they can learn to be nicer to others. (Hmmm, was THAT sarcasm? I'll let you decide...)

    That particular smiley was not in our directory but was pulled up by Deborah from some other source. However, it is NOW in our own smiley catalog and can be called up by typing :sarcasm:

    Try it!

    I'll be honest, I doubt I'd personally put in the effort to input different font for people who are ultra-sensitive or easily butthurt even if there was an option. If I was being sarcastic in the first place, then I most likely wouldn't care enough to explain myself if they couldn't read my sarcasm initially...........

    Come on people, let's all learn to "deal" with life, and grow some thicker skin. Things happen, people get rubbed the wrong way, pull up your big girl pants and get over it. Seriously, people are WAY to out there and butthurt over things these days.

    Whether it be online or reality, I'm honestly rubbish at detecting sarcasm.
    I just take things seriously the majority of the time.

    My boyfriend always teases me that I can never understand his 'jokes' or that I never follow his lead when he teases his mum. I've told him once to give me a signal whenever he's being sarcastic to someone so I can follow along. But that sort of defeats the purpose of the sarcasm and seems silly in the end, imo.
    I feel like that also applies to this....
