SivartM Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Me? Sarcastic? Never! But yeah, if I'm sarcastic it usually means I'm very tired or feel very strongly about something but am not sure why. Sometimes I just have to vent my frustration somewhere... Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

SivartM Posted October 17, 2011 Posted October 17, 2011 Well, I grew out of my really sarcastic style before I became really active here, I think. I just hide it though; I think very sarcastically. It makes life more interesting. :) Quote "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde�Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted October 17, 2011 Administrators Posted October 17, 2011 In defense of sarcasm... As if it needed any help... The saying of uncertain origin, "Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence" may actually have a basis in fact - http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2005/may/23/psychology.science . And if you care to go deep - http://brain.oxfordjournals.org/content/128/5/963.full http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2720152/ Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth.

Yet again reinforcing that we are the ones in our right mind! Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal."
