I pose this question and challenge all to withhold sarcasm 
|
|
|
|
|
If I say no, you'll just assume I'm being sarcastic...
And so will I.
So, "No."

Sarcastic is hating. I don't hate, I forgive. I'm not competitive. I don't play Win-Lose. It's win-win or no deal.

Sarcastic? Qui, moi?
Life is too shor

That's pretentious, isn't it?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

There exists at least one programmer who is not sarcastic. But who cares, he must not be very good.

You don't really mean that.

Noo, for sure there is no such thing as sarcastic programmer. 
|

Just the sarcastic ones...
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Just a quick question, by "challenge all withold sarcasm" do you mean
a) Make a comment that isn't intended as sarcastic
b) Make a comment that cannot be easily seen as sarcastic
c) Make a comment that cannot be interpreted as sarcastic at all.

The use of "withhold" implies to me that he means you should hold it back until it builds up enough to really put someone's eye out.

Change that to psychotic and we can enter into a serious discussion on the matter.
Otherwise - wanna see what I'm going to do to that happy face emoticon of yours?

First thing is, how do you define a programmer? Aren't they the guys who ressemble the antagonist from a horror movie?

sarcasm[^]: noun
1. harsh or bitter derision or irony.
2. a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or cutting remark: "a review full of sarcasms."
I think sarcasm becomes a hallmark of most programmer personalities. There is a dissonance between the world and our models of it that gets to be very frustrating, and the expression of that frustration is sarcasm.
Or quiet drooling in a corner.

What cr@ppy, inaccurate (and somewhat facile) definitions.
Maybe they're dysloxemixic, and can't see the differences in spelling between "sarcasm" and "sardonicism" (the latter more closely matches their definitions)
Sarcasm requires one to voice the opposite of what one means.
Remind me never to use that dictionary.

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm Mark?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Then we have perfect synchronicity

My level of sarcasm is directly proportional to the level of incompetence around me. Sadly, that means that I am almost always sarcastic to some degree or other.

Lets see, programmers are highly logical people who mostly work in a corporate environment.
Why would we be sarcastic?

..there's your typical user. Asks a question, and first remark is that they don't want an answer.
