Following @SlugMug's suggestion, could we please have a sarcasm font? I think most sites just use a monospaced font like Courier New, but a Comic Sans lookalike would also work.
 
Do you guys really not get sarcasm? It’s like explaining a joke.

Here's how this request got started:


Or was that sarcasm? Damn, this is complicated.
 
I don't mind your idea of bracketing it with an appropriate image if we can't do a font. But I think I like the wink better.

How about this one?

There is a possibility that I can add a tooltip to the whole string.

All it takes is one person to take a well-intended sarcastic (joking) remark seriously to start a virtual feud, especially on an international forum that doesn't convey voice tones and facial expressions.
 
Be a man, add a disclaimer to every post.
 
What does the end product look like when you click the Sarcasm button?
The text is displayed in a monospaced font. No tags or images. But everyone seems to know what it means.
 
I voted for it BUT......
How about everyone just man, or woman, the f up. We are talking diving here, not brain surgery. Why does a place that allows you to type your thoughts cause so many people to think their thoughts have value and that they can't be challenged or mocked?
Sarcasm is the perfect way to keep those people, and their egos, in check.
