      Poe’s law is a thing, and assuming that everyone is joking when there is NO indication of a joke (especially in a medium that cannot convey tone without lOoKiNg LiKe YoU’rE hAvInG a StRoKe) makes the internet a worse place for actual discussion. Use basic internet hygiene, and remember to close your sarcasm HTML tag, using the following code as an example:

      <s> I’m sure glad that everyone is kind on the internet, and they don’t call others stupid for making the assumption that someone is being genuine! </s>

      Or the following method, which works when you need to mark the entire <body> as sarcastic:

      I’m sure glad that everyone is kind on the internet and they don’t call others stupid for making the assumption that someone is being genuine! /s
