What I learned on DU

Yesterday I learned that someone I considered to be a dear Online Friend does not recognize Sarcasm when he sees it.

I am sorry that I replied sarcastically to the classy mofo who pissed in that thread.

Trouble was ... I was being sarcastic to another DUer, it just so happened that I was in another's person thread when I did it. This person did not appreciate my sarcasm so he put me on Full Ignore. No way to PM him an apology. So, here I am in Public Forum being an asshole attempting to apologize once more.

meh.

I know what you're talking about...

And this is a good move on your part.

I'll see if I can't get the offended party to see your post, and then maybe he'll calm down...

understanding sarcasm or when someone is joking around.
Many need to find a sense of humor. It's quite sad actually.
