That's the best part of internet sarcasm. There is little in this world that is more fun than a 6 reply deep argument between someone making serious counterpoints to my sarcastic comments, while I try to see how much more sarcastic I can become before they figure it out.

Putting a tag up absolutely ruins the fun.

I've found most people online feign sarcasm as a way to defend their ego more than anything else.

Or they imagine everyone is hating on them because they didn't get the sarcasm. No, we got the sarcasm. It's just a terrible joke.
