DIAR said:I can read inbetween the lines, but it as been said before it is hard to detect sarcasm online, this is because you can't tell clearly if the person meant it as a joke or not. I try to be direct in what I say, you of all people should know if you don't your words can easily be taken out of context too easily.

I'm glad to see your being more reasonable, and I'm sure everyone else on this forum will be as well. It can be very difficult to detect sarcasm online, but thats why there's emoticons (and this is waaayyyyy off topic, but this is applicable to emoitcons and tone of voice, plus funny and historic to boot! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n4fDgmrF3o) Anyways, I try to be over the top when I post sarcastically, hence the overuse of caps and internet cliche. If people have read my earlier posts, than it provides a pretty stark contrast that should make it evident I'm joking. Although I can understand wanting to be direct online, especially when one is new to a forum. Oh, and when your post are sarcastic in the manner I've described then it can be pretty funny when people take it seriously. Still out of context could be a problem, but I have yet to see it on this forum with the notable exception of Kwaad. And excellent job being reasonable, and no, this isn't sarcastic even though I've now said this twice. Everything is better when people understand that the internet is an international forum with many people having English as a second language. EDIT: I guess I spoke too soon. Just assume I was really being sarcastic as maturity has gone out the window.
