Nah, you're right it's utterly impossible to imply sarcasm. It is so excruciatingly hard that we have to ruin the sarcasm in order to point it out, but you know what? Better that than inflict the mental trauma of misunderstanding on someone! God knows how much PTSD you've avoided triggering in others. You truly are a hero.

Is this really that much of an issue? Chill out buddy. It's text on a website. We're not murdering anyone.

You're murdering sarcasm, and, as a Brit, I very much resent that.
