Amount Of Sarcasm On ATS Lately

Originally posted by TheObserver
I don't think the OP is referring to genuine light-hearted sarcasm, but the more vindictive and sinister type that is becoming more prevelant here. People seem to prefer to get one over on the next person rather than put forward a sensible arguement.

It seems to me that as long as one is abiding by the Terms here at ATS, sarcasm is okay.
I'd hate to see us get soooo P.C. that we don't allow sarcasm to enter into discussions.

I don't see sarcasm as the problem, it's the attitude that accompanies a lot of posts. If the attitude was toned down a lot of the problems would disappear. There also seems to be some members that want to prove others wrong, not neccisarilly prove themselves right, they just have to get one over on others.

Discussed here:
March 2005
Sarcastic posts just as bad as ones that cause flames.
May-June 2005
Posting jokes, ridiculing, making fun of others in threads...
