(313 posts)If so, notice how it can be misunderstood, misread, misinterpreted, or even taken as a straightforward truth.
I am a big Eric Swalwell fan, but don't think this brand of sarcasm was nearly as effective as his straight ahead comments. In this day of misinformation and the misinformed, just don't think we can afford comments like these. Besides, it's just kind of nasty a lot of the time. But don't take it from me. Here are some famous folks weighing in.
Neither irony or sarcasm is argument.
Samuel Butler
Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
The subconscious doesn't distinguish sarcasm and jokes. It just accepts what it hears. That's the power of words.
India Arie
Some sarcasm is best told simply.
Kevin Hart
I don't know - maybe you were trying to be nice and welcoming!
