Seeing a growing trend at Gamelive dot com

[Tron]

Poster A makes a post


Poster B takes slight/huge exception to Poster A's post


Poster A says, "CALM DOWN PAL I WAS ONLY KIDDING/BEING SARCASTIC"


Poster B looks like their being overly sensitive/combative


Is "I was only kidding/I was being sarcastic" the new go-to back pedal move or has this been going on for a long time and I never noticed it? Or is it not back pedaling but merely a new fad (think planking)?


I was hesitant about making a new thread just for this but I didn't want to shit all over Random Thoughts and it's a slow night.


SALUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If we just removed the sarcasm factor from this forum things would make a lot more sense.

There are a lot of people here that really need to think about if they are making sense right now.

ONE STAR!


YES, We made it!!!

Rarely is it a good idea to try and explain that you were joking, being sarcastic or not serious. There are creative ways of showing that perhaps you weren't serious. Sometimes ignoring the offended posters comment is also a better alternative.

I hope this thread is a joke.

I can only answer for myself.

I am sarcastic most of the time. If I don't like you while I am being sarcastic I am trying to piss you off or just be a dick and it's intentional. If I like you I mean no harm, I am just trying to get a rise out of you or a laugh. The only time I will back pedal is if I actually strike a nerve or hurt the feelings of someone I like.

I do explain OFTEN that I am being sarcastic because I tend to use a very deadpan delivery offline and it doesn't always translate online.

I was only being sarcastic, pal.

 

[Virtuoso]

[reno cool]

I would stop with those explanations. At best they're unnecessary and at worst they make both parties look bad

You all take this internet stuff too seriously.

Reno, you're avoiding the question pal.

Which question?

This one:

Reno you ever seen her snatch? how does she groom it?

 

[reno cool]

Plommer, you're too sharp for this thread, gtfo

 

[Tron]

Yeah I didn't love the Atheist Robot snatch question.

It crossed boundaries.
