Think Sarcasm is Funny? Think Again
Is sarcasm really just hostility disguised as humor?

Content: Those of us that might use sarcasm, myself included, are likely not prone to give a damn. He did say use it sparingly! just saying. If you were on the other end of constant sarcasm, it can be VERY hurtful, degrading and Embarrassing. I don't think he mentioned dropping it into a forum post fgs. Have you not figured out that forum posting isn't rl yet? ( ooops was that sarcasm or humour or trolling)3 different things there. Depending on how often you use it in your pretend life, it could be seen as bullying, trolling or harassment if used on the same person over and over and that's no opinion, that's fact! So, in real life, used on the same person over and over, especially if it's your partner, it IS bullying and a very weak way to keep the other person feeling insecure and shit! Sarcasm can be humorous used in the right context (as he was saying) and if you use it properly it's funny
You are absolutely right that
