Subject: RE: Dealing with Flamers
Sorry Wyrd Sister.

My post was not directed at you. It was a general post for anyone who likes to use the forum as a place to dump negative emotions.

However, re: sarcasm... by definition, sarcasm is a form of aggression. Not as overt as anger, but my dictionary defines sarcasm as being "designed to cut or give pain". Sarcasm shouldn't be confused with irony or facetiousness, which are defined differently.
