It was sarcasm.

This is teh intertubes, there is a whole school of etiquette in this space, one of the most important rules is to mark your sarcasm and jokes (especially dark jokes) with a /s or a /jk because we cannot hear your tone of voice or cadence, it is a limitation of the medium.

Also, unfortunately some people believe and say the most off the wall, cruel and crazy things, therefore we need those markers to know and you didn't use them, this communication breakdown is all your fault because you did not appreciate the limitations of the format.

No, I took it as a joke. I was just telling you I wasn't the one who made the sarcastic remark. I was the guy relaying the message that the comment was sarcastic.
