I thought I was laying on the sarcasm pretty thick. But I guess it’s harder and harder to tell these days!

- quantified 6mo agoThere is no tone of voice in writing. This is part of the problem with written social media. Some writers will say "only an idiot would believe what I wrote", showing themselves to be adversarial in their communications. I don't think that's you in this case.
- lo_zamoyski 6mo agoDry humor wouldn't work if tone was necessary. Tone is a bit on the nose.
- sgc 6mo agoI took as beyond sarcasm, just a simple explanation of how they manage to keep going written in the first person. From my perspective it is incredible anybody could misunderstand.
- stavros 6mo agoThat's how I took it too, and didn't realize someone might read it otherwise, but I can see how it could be misunderstood if someone isn't paying as much attention.
- lo_zamoyski 6mo agoIt was very thick, IMO.
