Content: Rather than consider an argument on it's merits, a sarcastic response says "I am too good for this". Ironically, many people who consider themselves "open minded" use sarcasm with regularity to dismiss ideas which don't fit their worldview. Often, sarcastic people are under the mistaken impression that others believe their dismissive attitude is a sign of intelligence simply because they are too polite to tell them how much of a negative ass they are. These people generally try very hard to seem intelligent on the outside - they might even wear large-framed glasses that they don't need. Highly sarcastic individuals, in my opinion, are not desirable to be around. They tend to have no sympathy for any other humans. Their most common form of conversation tends to be putting other people down, and they almost never create original ideas. All in all, they seem pretty miserable. And for the purpose of this argument, I define "highly sarcastic" as someone who uses sarcasm as a response to almost any new concept or idea. Most of us will use sarcasm from time to time, but these people take it to a new level.
