Hated missing out on Jake Butt. This could be a serious target in the 2018 draft.

Some of you need to hit up m-w.com for the definition of sarcasm.

You need to understand the difference between sarcasm as written versus spoken.

Condescending towards people that don't see sarcasm in one liners from random people is like condescending towards blind people because they cannot play catch. There are no cues.

Your mind works in that similar irreverent, undermining manner and you see it in everything. That doesn't make you right all the time either.

Modern writing curriculum needs to adjust and teach the concept better. You've had this explained and still blithely carry on for example. Makes me think that you feel some sense of accomplishment because you can "see" it.

It was obvious he was being sarcastic.

I had a little fun with it and made a minor joke.

Good thing we have you around to be offended for everyone.

More to the point, it's cute that you replied to a post I made about a month ago. And even more cute that another posted a similar reply and you didn't reply with your usual flair of self important drivel. Lucky me.

Speak for yourself. It was obvious to you but sarcasm is denoted by body language and tone in the real world.

And who said I was offended? I am actually amused by your sense of accomplishment over this if you really want to know.

And what did I say that was self important? In what way have I made this about me? I'm criticizing you and this is not a zero sum situation.
