Posted: 2/29/2008 10:53:09 PM | some can throw out insults under the guise of joking... depends on their intention... maybe they dont have the guts to tell you your tie looks ugly! and all that appears is sarcasm... lacking honesty with oneself has its affects
myself... im a smartass... and not always a smart smartass either. .. sometimes im trying to be funny and its hurtful... sometimes im trying to be hurtful and its funny.... geesh!
whatever the case.. as most things... its up to the individual and who they are and how they see the world... etc etc etc... bla bla bla...
i try to not take anyone seriously and absolutely not a soul personally and then im never too badly astounded by much
good luck

Posted: 2/29/2008 11:02:01 PM | | I can take jokes easily, and I make my own jokes. I came across those that 1)GET ME. They laugh, and know not to take me serious.. and then 2) The huffy kind that gets all mad/upset over something lame. I don't like people that can't take sarcasm. | |

Posted: 2/29/2008 11:07:00 PM | I have been thinking about this for awhile. I see alot [sic] of people decribe [sic] themselfs [sic] as having a sence [sic] of humor that has a sarcastic bite or being witty with sarcasm. I am thinking this is a red flag for passive agressiveness [sic]. Usually sounds like unresoved [sic] isuues [sic] or even plain meanness. I know I had to stop that part of me because my family use to do it alot [sic] when i [sic] was growing up. It was like only the auther [sic] of the sarcasm though [sic] it was funny.
Im [sic] sure Im [sic] going to here [sic] alot [sic] of critism [sic] over it but bring it on. Lets [sic] see how it plays out Interested in seeing what otheres [sic] have to say on the matter. Sarcasm funny or not? Sarcasm sign of a bumpy road ahead? Start of just being mean and abusive to one another? - Ill light your fuse

Posted: 2/29/2008 11:10:49 PM | | Sarcasm is negative, it has undertones of contempt - the world is a better place without it. Personally it seems to go hand in hand with deceit, outright lying, selfishness, conceit, insensitivity and a whole grab bag of negative personality traits. I walk away from such people and don't tolerate their put downs as funny or fun towards myself or others. Sarcasm is not welcome in my home nor in my workspace. | |

Posted: 2/29/2008 11:17:21 PM | Why do sarcastic people have such a problem with non-sarcastic who don't want to be around sarcastic people being aware that we don't want to be around sarcastic people? There are plenty of ways to have humor and sarcastic people are welcome to theirs and I am welcome not to hang out with them or go to their comedy shows or watch their comedy shows on TV, etc. It is my choice to have the limitation.
A non-sarcastic person wanted to know if any other people considered sarcasm a red flag. Yes, there are some of us who do use it as a limiter. There are others who are attracted by it. As the site says ... plentyoffish. | |

You'll likely get a lot more criticism for your almost lethal inability to spell.
Little tip: when you've typed out your post, take a moment to look at what you've written. See all those words with little red lines underneath? Those are mis-spelled words!!! Please, for the love of God, CORRECT them BEFORE you post!!! As it is, your post is damn near unreadable, as it has so many errors (typos?) that it seems to have been written by a monkey wearing oven mitts.
While this banging on about lousy spelling may seem a bit much, the fact is that, after a certain point, bad spelling becomes so distracting as to over-ride any message the poster may be trying to convey.
What was the topic again...? | |

I feel enlightened now that I've seen the error of my ways. Thanks. | |

> It's not a problem, grog27. People love to read posts like his. Spelling is not an issue today, grammar is a thing of the past, and sentence construction flew out the window a long time ago. What matters today is sarcasm. That's all we need.

You too? I knew it had to be that post or the whole bottle of cough syrup I downed. | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 4:46:09 AM | I'm quite certain anyone who uses to sarcasm to insult people on an hourly basis is not going to be everyone's friend. I highly doubt the OP was referring to this type of sarcasm.
Sarcasm isn't used 100% of the time to be insulting. You can use it to insult people without their knowledge if your good at it but again i don't think that's what was meant.
Sarcasm can most definitely be humorous. So for the people who started pulling the dictionary definition. If I called you a "fag" would you be upset? The definition is a bundle of sticks. And for my UK friends isn't a fag also slang for cigarette?
If people use sarcasm without the intent of making you laugh, then their just mean. Again, the OP didn't ask this...he said a sarcastic sense of HUMOR...which means the intent is to be funny........................................beating a dead horse....... | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 5:31:32 AM | | I concur, why uphold a preference for sarcasm as a perfectly acceptable form of communication, when clearly, not everyone agrees? The topic is valuable because for some any form of sarcasm is not wanted and for others, it is to varying degrees. When you tell someone they are too sensitive you are showing your own insensitivity to other's feelings. It easy to wear one's glibness and sharp tongue as a cloak to not have to accept responsibility for what you say to other's, under the guise of being sarcastic. Words do cause pain and I'm sure we have all felt the sting of someone else's words, it stays with you and perhaps those are the scars you cannot see with the naked eye. Unfortunately for some the light bulb has not gone on that perhaps they go overboard in the name of sarcasm. | |

Well said, Quicksilver217. I've also found that many of those traits tend to go together. People don't realize how ugly and negative sarcasm can be, even if it's not directed specifically at you...it spreads bad vibes to everyone within earshot. I also won't stay around sarcastic people...maybe that should be another POF filter we can put up  | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 5:36:49 AM | | This is, perhaps, the most elucidative and brilliant thread I've ever seen on POF or any other of the 17 or 18 internet forums I regularly comment on. It sings, like a choir of perfectly pitched cherubs serenading God Himself, of a purity of thought and purpose that I can scarcely bear to enjoin my mind from engaging at this time. My God, man, how did you come up with this? What robust spirits of vigorous thought and examination have possessed you to tear open the very fabric of the old paradigm and flood it with a brilliant starlight that is nearly blinding in its beauty and illumination? My God. My God. How did you do this? | |

Posted: 3/1/2008 5:40:18 AM | assuming that most things are OK in moderation, I am surprised I havent seen a discussion of levels and types of sacracsm.
1) literally means cutting flesh. this is abusive
2)used in the course of an argument. I think we've all done this on an occassion or too.
3) putting someone in their place nested in an effort to make light of it. I work with inner city street young adults and use this one all the time.
4) humor. It works if Iapply it to myself on an equal basis to doing it to others, allow it to be a two way street, and so long it stays at the level of basing it something said or done; when it gets into what or who a person is (intelligence, race, weight, age, ect), it usually accross the line. | |
