    Wish I could have voted for both choices. I think the reason sarcasm is so hard to detect somtimes is simply that there are so many keyboard commandos out there it becomes hard to distinguish between the one just making a joke and those just being you-know-whats. I do agree though that most people just need to get over themselves and realize the world neither revolves around them nor owes them anything.

    And I may just have to put this in my sig it's so cool
    Where are we going, and why am I in this handbasket?

    I see absolutely no issues with this idea

    But seriously... It's not a bad idea, but it would be very hard to implement and moderate

    Re: Sarcasm Font??

    Hey!

    I think it is very difficult to comprehend emotion through text. If someone really feels the need to empathize or put emotion in their writings, the best way simply is to use emoticons, and capital or lower case letters. As far as people being sarcastic, I personally think it should be left out. Its fun to joke and mess around, but is very difficult to portray through text.

    I think it would be best to just stick with emoticons A special text is slightly ridiculous haha

    Heh, let me put that on my to do list.

    If you need a font for it, you're not doing it right.

    If you get offended by something someone wrote, you chose to be offended, deal with your own self and let others do the same.

    The Wuss Factor is growing exponentially and I for one do not feel sorry for those too tender to play with others. If you're offended by something I say or write, I either meant to offend you or you're not getting it. Either way though I'll not be handicapping my posts with a cute little dealybob to make it easier for those too tender to be out from under Mommy's apron.
