@nycki@critters.gay yeah! I feel as if we're perhaps working from slightly different personal definitions of "sarcasm". I'm a old old person and I studied Latin and Greek and such tiresome things in school and thus came to regard sarcasm as a rhetorical weapon with a precise purpose (and thus not to be slung about casually, whence it really isn't proper sarcasm any more but rather just a sour speaking mood.)

    @nycki@critters.gay for what it's worth I can't remember the last time I felt the need to be sarcastic. I think I've used the /sarcasm flag to mark something as "gallows humor" in nature every now and again
