re: #90 SilentAlfa

Considering that I have defended global warming on this site before I am more than just a little surprised; I thought it would be great to start off the thread with a sarcastic comment/bad joke for a nice little chuckle. Some people use // to indicate sarcasm, I use all lower-case (not raggin on you albusteve that’s just mah style).
I’ve done this ever since the first time people misinterpreted what I thought was overbearing sarcasm. I honestly still think that the above post I made was really over-the-top, I made an effort to make that one obvious. I have failed you denizens of LittleGreenFootballs and I sincerely apologize next time I will resort to using // (even though this pains me it feels equivalent to typing a joke then at the bottom writing THIS IS A JOKE”).

Thank you please do make sure to use sarc tags in the future.

On the internet nobody can see you raise your eyes or hear you raise your voice a few octaves as you speak.

Always keep Poe’s Law in mind… no matter how over the top you try to be, people will think you are serious unless you include a sarc tag or some other way of letting people know you’re joking.
