when I post something like that I take "everyones comments" into account.
the trouble with sarcasm in forums is you need to add a jk to put it in context or it can, and often will be, taken as a comment and not sarcasm so to avoid 10 more posts "one upping" yours I felt I needed to comment. I have to take into account what a new member might think seeing comments like yours and not understanding they are meant to be sarcastic. it shows poorly on us and does not help in a thread with already touchy feelings expressed.
I did feel your comment was supposed to be sarcastic but others might not read it that way which is often the trouble with out of context sarcasm. just because I "think" something is meant as sarcasm doesn't mean I can just "assume" its ok to do so and as moderator and representative of SUBSIM I have an obligation to counter comments like those you posted.
