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

@Backtoscratch we both appear to be from the UK. Sarcasm is mostly used as a thinly disguised "put down". Perhaps it's a generational thing, I am probably 30 years older than you. Could it be one of the reasons older people consider youngsters to be disrespectful whilst younger people consider old folks to be grumpy?

@Backtoscratch I would consider him to be hilariously disrespectful.
