Sarcasm - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Smartboy · 11-11-2009, 08:33 PM

Before dawn yesterday, I posted a message titled "One Out of Six". After a long nap and a lot of chores, I returned to the board and, sure enough, there was a response! I am not sure if I got all of the double-meanings and the plays on words, but I could tell that there was some sarcasm in the air. By the way, this response was accompanied by a photo of a can of Spam. I could sort of figure out that this poster was saying that reading my posts is like dealing with spam on your computer. Ha, ha, very funny! In any event, I was crashed out for the bulk of the day and now I am back. I find that my post is still there but the response is gone! I do not know if the people who run the site did not appreciate the sarcasm or what. In any event, one week ago, I posted a message called "The Dogs of Sesame Street". The same poster who made fun of me on my last thread made fun of me on this one! In among the sillyness, he or she also asked me a serious question about an episode. As insulted as I was, I decided to raise above the situation and still dignify this question with the answer. In among the last poster's sarcasmm, he or she thanked me for the answer. In conclusion, I would just like to say "you're welcome!"

I just wanted to say I admire you for being the bigger person in the way you dealt with that other poster.

I agree with Marv. You handled that other poster the right way. I didn't see it when it happened or I would have said something.

The first thing that I would like to do is thank you for all of the support that you have given me! On top of that, I like the turkey emblem under you pen name. I remember watching the parade and seeing people marching along-side the turkey float carrying signs that say, "try a ham this year"! Well, when I go to my brother's house this year, we will probably have a big fiest that will cause both a turkey "and" a pig to forefit their lives! Let us all take a minute to be thankful to our farm animals!
