Should we have a 'Sarcastic' Font?

[Larry Storch]

[sarc]Since the Mods don't have a lot to do here.[/sarc]
I propose we have a tag that will change the font of a sarcastic comment in order to avoid any misunderstandings.
Perhaps something like this:

I'm totally bored right now.

but misunderstandings is what makes perb the grand gong show that it is

we'd be REALLY bored if it wasn't so...

 

[VanessaofBC]

Really? You care so little for the smooth running of these boards? Wow! I'm shocked! Just shocked!
My thanks to those of you who actually care and who offer your continued support.

I would be very disappointed if there were a "sarcastic font". People who can't recognize sarcasm and satire are a continual source of amusement for me.

What next, another font for people that lie????

[sarc] I am putting everyone who votes for banana on ignore, what's wrong with you people[/sarc]

Hey Larry, was it supposed to be:
A) Yes
B) No
C) [sarc] Banana [/sarc]




It's way better than having to include an emoticon. ound: or or etc,

 

[Larry Storch]

omg that's a brilliant idea.

More for the sarcasm font movement ...

Good Lord! I had no idea there was an entire movement afoot!
Thanks, I'll be getting involved. :thumb:

Funny you should say that!!!

Sarcasm fonts/tags eventually end up getting misused or abused and lose their meaning. As odd as it sounds, they'll end up creating more drama instead of reducing it.

 

[hiddencloud]

The real problem is that people will use them to take real shots at people but then hide behind the sarcasm tags. It's just a way to let people be more passive aggressive.

 

[VanessaofBC]

I nominate uncleg to stock them!

I second that!!

 

[Man Mountain]

I propose...


MORE MINIONS!!!

(I don't know if it was planned, or just a happy accident but my favourite thing about the Banana option in the poll is that the bar for that one is yellow! ound: )

Very happy coincedence.

I propose a bigger selection of emoticons.

[sarc]Well, if you want to suggest something that makes sense then sure.[/sarc]

And, no I'm not going to keep bumping this.
