    Do you ever read flippant comments as they are intended, or do you just immediately flip into "Angry teenager with vague grasp of communism" mode?

    People don't really realise that tone of voice is hard to convey in text.

    You have to pick your market with sarcasm on the internet, it either has to be super obvious or it has to be in a context in which people are expecting sarcasm.

    Also there's always going to be someone who actually thinks along the lines of a sarcastic comment, and it's always difficult to tell whether or not they actually think that's the case.
