You are the most intelligent, insightful member of the forum.
 Sarcasm, to me at least, is easier perceived when spoken than written.

When I think my sarcasm may be taken seriously, I add a disclaimer.

It happens to me a lot; I author a work of sarcasm and it is too subtle to be perceived by most. There is a reason for this; I always though sarcasm was best when it was just barely perceptible, too obvious and it looses all its charm and impact. That it should try and convey the full flavor of the fallacy, sophism, or idiocy that inspired it. So the question is what is good satire? The response to this post prompted this thread. A very insightful post. You make several good points. |

Sarchasm - the gap between a sarcastic comment and the reader's ability to pick up on it.

Understanding
Understanding the subtlety of this usage requires second-order interpretation of the speaker's intentions. This sophisticated understanding can be lacking in some people with certain forms of brain damage, dementia and autism,[11] and this perception has been located by MRI in the right parahippocampal gyrus.[12][13] This explains a lot. |

Use my patent-pending method of conveying your sarcasm through The Sarcasm Indicator, or "@" at the end of your post.

Here's a tip: Repeating an opinion some dolts actually have - not sarcasm, unless the reader knows who the hell you are and that it's impossible you would hold this opinion.
Here is a very slight rewrite of your statement in the other thread that might not have confused as much. I think the key is to include references to facts that are obviously untrue - as opposed to opinions you might have. Economy is _not_ recovering All Obama did was...nothing. Obama has no plan The rich pay most taxes, certainly more than their "fair share" etc... It is without question that the so called "tea-bagger party" hacks are actively trying to damage our obviously recovering economy simply so they can delight in saying "neener neener neeener" to the American people. President Obama narrowly brought us back from the brink of disaster today due to his verbal restraint and patient inactivity. The carefully detailed and cunningly crafted plan he has presented the American people will see us through the coming decades in prosperity - we can _all_ be rich, not just fat cats with corporate jets who don't pay their fair share. ... |
