    It takes so much work to successfully pull off sarcasm in text. I’m still working on it, it’s a craft I hope to master some day.

        I use to, but it really takes most of the fun out of it. What’s sarcasm without the fun, it’s just being annoying.

        Lately, sometimes I just throw the sarcasm out and gamble on it being noticed, other times I try to lay it on thick.

        In this case, I thought using the well known bullshit concept of “I have nothing to hide” would convey my true stance.

          You’ve got a point. Using /s has nearly the same effect as explaining the joke which is guaranteed to deflate the fun of making the comment in the first place.
