I'm sorry, I forgot we're on the internet and Poe's Law applies. Next time I'll add a "THIS IS SARCASM :D" disclaimer to the end of my posts when relevant.

THIS IS SARCASM :D

I don't know how you read a post going through all the structural problems with elections which culminates in a point about people not dealing with non-voting in an effective way and not get the point. Other people did.

THIS IS NOT SARCASM :(

    Oh, I picked up the sarcasm at the very end... It's just not well applied.

    Sarcasm doesn't work well as a tool to advocate... It's great for advocating against though...

    You seem to love sending absolute walls of text

    That’s fair. Sarcasm can be misunderstood and places the work of interpretation on the reader.

    I’m not really the most concise writer but complex issues can’t be easily discussed in the length of a tweet.

    THIS IS NOT SARCASM :(

    Tell you what, let’s meet in the middle. I’ll work on my writing skills and you work on your reading comprehension and attention span.

    THIS IS SARCASM :D

    I’m sorry if this got a little mean/heated. I just get really mad about certain issues. We’re on the same team and that’s what matters.

    THIS IS NOT SARCASM : (

    Man I get heated too, I'll happily meet you in the middle.

    Someone pointed out to me that I was too quick to make angry comments so I've been working on sending neutral or positive ones instead....

    Still working on it.
