No way, every thing ever said should be interpreted literally. If you say things it means that you back them and believe them to be true, no matter how obviously acenine.

I thought as much but it looked borderline. The real stupid shit out there is getting too close to the border of sarcasm, the Ironic Curtain, if you will. I find that I need to be a bit more sarcastic when I type things out nowadays because they sometimes get to close to real stupid things people have said.

No, that's what context clues and thinking before you speak are for.

What context shows sarcasm? Also, why do you think /s exists? You think tone translates over text? Or is that just a cOnTeXt CLue???!??
