This is why sarcasm is mentioned in the
Keep it Civil Forum guideline (already posted in this thread by a moderator). Sarcasm often doesn't come across the playful, good-natured reparte that the author may intend. Also, most people don't enjoy sarcasm directed towards a serious comment that they made. At worst, sarcasm is intended, yet deniable, rudeness. I will not make a public judgment about the intent of the quoted material, but I know it came across to me, a neutral.
There's been some really helpful information shared in this thread. A lot of the discussion here has been quite constructive. I really don't want to lock this thread, but a few posters are apparently growing quite agitated. Please take a deep breath and remember that we are talking about
a game- one that involves liberal doses of make-believe and play acting- before posting a response to something that rankles. If a member insists on continuing to willfully ignore forum guidelines, then a ban will be in order.
