If someone responds with sarcasm to your post, do you automatically take it as hostility instead of recognising it as sarcasm?

Sadly, there is no "sarcasm" font (nor a "joke" font). I truly believe if there were, the number of arguments on the internet would be reduced by 80%.

@Backtoscratch Thank you for BA
@xixgun
Ehh, sarcasm can still be used to make sleazy attacks tho... And all said with a smile and hidden behind the excuse of using sarcasm.

@SapphicHeart True, but more often than not is recognized as the passive aggressive bullshit that it is
@xixgun
I'm not going into any debate whether it's passive aggressive BS or not, it is what it is and context still matters. It's all. My reaction on your comment has to be seen in that light and not believing in 80% of arguments on internet would be avoided this way. I doubt it very much with what I've seen from people using sarcasm in arguing passive aggressively or not. The people using it in arguments deliberately have no issues doing the same while using the font, maybe they'd enjoy it even more. I can't tell but have a hunch.
