@nycki@critters.gay whereas if I use the sarcasm, and the person refuses the follow the logical inference, then I know that their earlier words were ill thought out. They said something they didn't actually have the thoughts to support.

@mxchara@seattle.pink saying that sarcasm doesn't involve the speaker's intent feels "wrong" to me, that's like saying that something is "a joke" even if you say it by accident. I would say that a joke is something told with the intent of being funny, and if you do it by accident it's just a gaffe. But, again, I see now how this might be a weak distinction.
